Because we're creating a 95% confidence interval, this means we have two tails of 2.5%. When we look up 0.025 in the Z table (click to open) , we find that it corresponds to a z-score of 1.96. After plugging everything into the equation, we find a lower bound of 480.8 and an upper bound of 559.2.
As already noted, the speed of light (expressed in meters per second) means that light travels a distance of 9,460,528,000,000 km (or 5,878,499,817,000 miles) in a single year. This distance is known as a âlight yearâ, and is used to measure objects in the Universe that are at a considerable distances from us.
Even further away is the famous âlight year,â the distance light travels in one year. Iâll repeat that just in case you have to re-look at the last line. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. That distance is 5,900,000,000,000 miles.Thatâs right, five trillion, nine hundred billion miles that light travels in one year. It is often rounded up to 6 trillion miles in a year or that a light year equals a distance of 6 trillion miles.ven further away is the famous âlight year,â the distance light travels in one year.
