Boats Use x = 98 (for 980,000 registered boats) with a 95% confidence level. Finding a Prediction Interval. In Exercises 13–16, use the paired data consisting of registered Florida boats (tens of thousands) and manatee fatalities from boat encounters listed in Data Set 12 “Manatee Deaths” in Appendix B. Let x represent number of registered boats and let y represent the corresponding number of manatee deaths. Use the given number of registered boats and the given confidence level to construct a prediction interval estimate of manatee deaths.
