More generally, the formula for the 95% confidence interval on the mean is: Lower limit = M - (tCL)(sM) Upper limit = M + (tCL)(sM) where M is the sample mean, tCL is the t for the confidence level desired (0.95 in the above example), and sM is the estimated standard error of the mean.
That is, the degree of the polynomial gives you the upper limit (the ceiling) on the number of bumps possible for the graph (this upper limit being one less than the degree of the polynomial), and the number of bumps gives you the lower limit (the floor) on degree of the polynomial.
