97  Calculating the lower confidence bound for mean ratio of change in PSP carbon stock
  The lower confidence bound for the weighted mean ratio of change in PSP carbon stock is to be calculated for a reporting period using the following formula:
   Equation 8

  where:
 =  lower confidence bound for weighted mean ratio of change in PSP carbon stock for sample plots in the th stratum for the reporting period.
 =  weighted mean ratio of change in PSP carbon stock for sample plots occurring in the th stratum for the reporting period,calculated in accordance with Equation 9a.
 =  two‑sided students t‑value for the 90% confidence level at the appropriate degrees of freedom ( ‑1), where n is the number of PSP plots in stratum  assessed during the reporting period for the purposes of section 98.
 =  standard error for weighted mean ratio of change in PSP carbon stock for sample plots in the th stratum for the reporting period, calculated in accordance with Equation 9b.
