To better measure the effects of increase in poaching, the nation of Africa began a study in 2000 to track the number of elephants in each of the country's three administrative districts. A count of the number of elephants in each region was performed by the researchers every two years; these counts were performed in January. The table above shows the results of the study.
Researchers determine that at a 95% confidence level, their margin of error for the population of elephants in 2010 was 17.4. If the actual population in 2010 is within the confidence interval, what is the lowest possible population of elephants in Africa in 2010?
