Abiology class conducts a bird count every week during the semester. using the number of species counted each week, a student finds a 95% confidence interval of (16.34,18.69) for the mean number of species counted. knowing that species have to be whole numbers, the student reports that 95% of the bird counts saw 16, 17, or 18 species. comment on the student's report.

A student finds a​ 95% confidence interval of​ (16.34,18.69) for the mean number of species counted. This is a valid interval because the mean number of species or any population mean does not necessarily have to be a whole number, as stated by the student.

This given confidence interval of (16.34,18.69) helps us to simply estimate the mean species counted.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
