2. Solve the equation below and find the variation constant, k. Find y when x= 18, if y varies directly as x, and y=37 when x=5 *Round your answer to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean mu . assume that the population has a normal distribution. a laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 185 milligrams with sequals 17.6 milligrams. a confidence interval of 173.8 mgless than muless than 196.2 mg is constructed for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs. it was assumed that the population has a normal distribution. what confidence level does this interval represent?
