Different species can interact in interesting ways. One type of grass produces the toxin ergovaline at levels

Question:

Different species can interact in interesting ways. One type of grass produces the toxin ergovaline at levels about 1.0 part per million in order to keep grazing animals away However, a recent study29 has found that the saliva from a moose counteracts these toxins and makes the grass more appetizing (for the moose). Scientists estimate that, after treatment with moose drool, mean level of the toxin ergovaline (in ppm) on the grass is 0.183. The standard error for this estimate is 0.016. 

(a) Give notation for the quantity being estimated, and define any parameters used. 

(b) Give notation for the quantity that gives the best estimate, and give its value. 

(c) Give a 95% confidence interval for the quantity being estimated. Interpret the interval in context.
