Answer:

900√2 or 1272.79 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine this cannonball making a triangle. When it reaches 900 feet, it will make a straight line down to the ground, making a leg. The imaginary line and ground make up the legs of the triangle with a 90° angle.

We can use the 45-45-90 triangle method

This means the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of a leg

900 x √2 = 1272.79221

Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree ring dates from this archaeological site. (round your answers to the nea

creativ13 [48]

Given a table below which gives the years in A.D. for an archaeological excavation site using the method of tree ring dating:

$\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
1229&1292&1187&1257&1268&1316&1275& 1317&1275
\end{tabular}$

Part A:

The sample mean is given by:

$\bar{x}= \frac{1229+1292+1187+1257+1268+1316+1275+ 1317+1275}{9} \\ \\ = \frac{11416}{9} =1268$

Therefore, the sample mean is 1268.

Part B:

We calculate the sample standard deviation as follows:

$s= \frac{1}{9-1} \left(\sqrt{(1229-1268)^2+(1292-1268)^2+(1187-1268)^2+(1257-1268)^2+(1268-1268)^2+(1316-1268)^2+(1275-1268)^2+(1317-1268)^2+(1275-1268)^2}\right)\\ \\ = \frac{1}{8}\left(\sqrt{(-39)^2+24^2+(-81)^2+(-11)^2+0^2+48^2+7^2+49^2+7^2}\right)\\ \\ = \frac{1}{8}\left(\sqrt{1521+576+6561+121+2304+49+2401+49}\right)\\ \\ = \frac{1}{8}\left(\sqrt{13,582}\right)\\ \\ = \frac{1}{8}(116.54)=14.57\approx15$

Part C:

The 90% confidence interval is given by:

$90\% \ C. \ I.=1268\pm1.65\left(\frac{15}{\sqrt{9}}\right) \\ \\ =1268\pm\left(\frac{15}{3}\right)=1268\pm5 \\ \\ =(1268-5, \ 1268+5)=(1263, \ 1273)$
