Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

Answer: 4 minutes or about 0.067 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h.

Distance traveled by him = 0.8 km

The formula we use here is $\text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Therefore, the time taken by him to travel a distance of 0.8 km will be :-

$\text{Time}=\dfrac{0.8}{12}=\dfrac{1}{15}\text{ hour}\approx0.067\text{ hour}$

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, $\dfrac{1}{15}\text{ hour}=\dfrac{1}{15}\times60=4\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take 4 minutes to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km.

Estimate the unit rate if 12 pairs of socks sell for $5.79.

11111nata11111 [884]

If 12 pairs of socks sell for $5.79, then the unit rate is 12 : 5.79. If we want to find a unit rate for one pair of socks, we need to divide 5.79 by 12:
5.79 / 12 = 0,4825
So the unit rate is 1 : 0.4825
Hope this was helpful, and if so, please mark as brainliest. ((: Thank you!

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.
