There is a relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation:
\theta=\overline{x} \pm \frac{z\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
Where \overline{x} is the mean, \sigma is standard deviation, and n is number of data points.
Every confidence interval has associated z value. This can be found online.
We need to find the standard deviation first: 
\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}
When we do all the calculations we find that:
\overline{x}=123.8\\ \sigma=11.84
Now we can find confidence intervals:
($90\%,z=1.645): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.645\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm5.0\\($95\%,z=1.960): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.960\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 5.99\\ ($99\%,z=2.576): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{2.576\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 7.87\\
We can see that as confidence interval increases so does the error margin. Z values accociated with each confidence intreval also get bigger as confidence interval increases.

Suppose that 40 deer are introduced in a protected wilderness area. The population of the herd
Scorpion4ik [409]

The horizontal asymptote of the function is the minimum number of deer in the area.

  • The equation of horizontal asymptote is: \mathbf{y = 40}
  • The horizontal asymptote means that, the number of deer will never be less than 40

The equation is given as:

\mathbf{f(x) = \frac{40 + 2x}{1 + 0.05x}}

Expand the numerator

\mathbf{f(x) = \frac{40(1 + 0.05x)}{1 + 0.05x}}

Cancel out the common factor

\mathbf{f(x) = 40}

Hence, the equation of horizontal asymptote is:

\mathbf{y = 40}

The horizontal asymptote means that, the number of deer will never be less than 40

A piece of metal has a mass of 2210 g. The volume of the metal is 260 cm³.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

density= 8.5\,\,\frac{g}{cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for density is:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

therefore for this case we have:

density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\density=\frac{2210}{260} \,\frac{g}{cm^3} \\density= 8.5\,\,\frac{g}{cm^3}

Kaylee drove 75.5 miles in 54 minutes,if she continues to drive at the same rate, how long will it take her to drive 250 miles?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

179 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Divide both sides by 75.5 to see how many minutes it would take to drive 1 mile. (54 / 75.5) =108/151
  2. She can drive 1 mile in 108/151 minutes
  3. Times by 250. (108/151 * 250) 178.8
  4. 179 to nearest minute
