A member of the US Forest Service was assigned to find a representative sample of heights (in feet) of Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana), a tree species common in the Coconino National Forest. The forester, having procrastinated, decided to measure the first 35 trees closest to his house, obtaining an average height of 60.233 ft. Based on the previous confidence interval, can the forester be confident the mean height of all Alligator Juniper is greater than 60 feet? Explain by interpreting the interval in context.
