45  Calculating conservative estimate of stocking density
            The conservative estimate of the average stocking density of a CEA must be calculated as the lower confidence limit using the following formula:
  Equation 6

          where:
  conservative estimate of the average stocking density (in stems/ha) within the ith carbon estimation area.
  average stocking density (in stems/ha) for the ith carbon estimation area—see Equation 2.
  critical value of the t-distribution for a student's t-test, using n-1 degrees of freedom at the P=0.05 level of significance.
  standard deviation of average stocking density (z̄) for plots within the ith carbon estimation area—see Equation 4.
  total number of plots in the ith carbon estimation area.
  ith carbon estimation area.
