The reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units
Find the diagram of the question attached. The given triangle ABC and BDE are similar triangles.
Using the similarity theorem of a triangle, this is expressed as:
AC = DE
Using the pythagoras theorem to get the length of AC:
AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2
5^2 + AC^2 + 4^2
AC^2 = 25 - 16
AC^2 = 9
AC= 3
Since AC = DE, hence the reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

if B is between C and D, BC= 10 in., and BD=3 in., then CD =2AD
A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of 60 funds' returns shows an average rate of 12%. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 4%, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the annual return on all mutual funds is
A. 0.037773 to 0.202227
B. 3.7773% to 20.2227%
C. 59.98786% to 61.01214%
D. 51.7773% to 68.2227%
E. 10.988% to 13.012%
Answer: E. 10.988% to 13.012%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Mean x= 12%
Standard deviation r = 4%
Number of samples tested n = 60
Confidence interval is 95%
Z' = t(0.025)= 1.96
Confidence interval = x +/- Z'(r/√n)
= 12% +/- 1.96(4%/√60)
= 12% +/- 0.01214%
Confidence interval= (10.988% to 13.012%)
