To find the error interval for the number \( x \) when rounded to 6.7 to one decimal place:

- The number \( x \) could be slightly less than 6.7 but still round up to 6.7, or it could be slightly more than 6.7 but still round down to 6.7. 
- The smallest possible value of \( x \) would be 6.65, because rounding 6.65 up gives 6.7.
- The largest possible value of \( x \) would be just under 6.75, because rounding 6.75 would give 6.8.

Thus, the error interval is:

\[
6.65 \leq x < 6.75
\]
