Cultural Tip
The construction 'Secondo la mia ricerca' is formal and typical of written Italian, especially in scientific or technical contexts. In casual conversation Italians might prefer 'Secondo quello che ho trovato' or simply state the result without the preamble. Also, keep the verb 'è' singular because 'intervallo' is singular, even if X represents a range of numbers.
