Answer: the maximal margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight = 4.23
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for margin of error : 
, where z* = Critical z-value.
Given: population standard deviation = 11.5 ounces
Sample size = 20
Z value for 90% confidence level = 1.645
margin of error (E) = 

Hence, the maximal margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight = 4.23
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
f(x) = 8 * 3^x
Discussion:
x = 0: f(x) = 8
x = 1: f(1) = f(0) * 3 = 8*3
x = 2: f(2) = f(2-1)*3 = f(1) * 3 = (8*3)*3 = 8 * 3^2
x=3 : f(3) = f(3-1)*3 = f(2)*3 = (8 * 3^2) * 3 = 8 * 3^3
Based on this we guess that
f(x) = 8 * 3^x
Thank you,
MrB
