It has been proven by biologist Shinichiro Wada that some small snails in Japan are able
to travel long distances by being eaten by birds and then excreted live by the birds in a
different location. The snails can apparently seal their shells shut to protect themselves
from the birds' digestive tracts. Wada fed 174 live snails to birds, and he observed that
26 of the snails were excreted live. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of snails
that were excreted live from birds is (0.096, 0.204). Interpret this 95% confidence interval
in context.
