Researchers in the Adirondack Mountains collect data on a random sample of streams each year. One of the variables recorded is the substrate of the streams the type of soil and rock over which they flow.
The researchers found that 69 of the 172 sampled streams had a substrate of shale. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Adirondack streams with a shale substrate. Clearly interpret your interval in this context.
