Answer:

The percent decrease is approximately 10.75\%

(Don't know what you are expected to round to.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change can be calculated by doing:

\frac{\text{original}-\text{new}}{\text{original}}

Then you multiply the result to covert it to a percentage.

Let's use this formula:

\frac{5831 \text{thousand}-5204 \text{ thousand }}{5831 \text{thousand}}

\frac{\text{thousand}}{\text{thousand}} \cdot \frac{5831-5204}{5831}

\frac{5831-5204}{5831}

\frac{627}{5831}

0.1075 approximately

Now the answer as a percent is 10.75\% approximately.

The percent decrease is approximately 10.75\%

Find xif 4; 4+2×;4+4× are in Geometric sequences​
Ray Of Light [21]

Given:

4,4+2x,4+4x are in geometric sequences​.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

If a, b, c are in geometric sequences​, then

\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{c}{b}

b^2=ac           ...(i)

It is given that 4,4+2x,4+4x are in geometric sequences​. By using (i), we get

(4+2x)^2=(4)(4+4x)

4^2+2(4)(2x)+(2x)^2=(4)(4)+4(4x)

16+16x+4x^2=16+16x

4x^2=16+16x-16-16x

On further simplification, we get

4x^2=0

x^2=0

x=0

Therefore, the value of x is 0.

In the past, 35% of the students at ABC University were in the Business College, 35% of the students were in the Liberal Arts Co
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

a. proportions have not changed significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Business College= 35 %

Arts College= 35 %

Education College = 30%

Calculated

Business College = 90/300= 9/30= 0.3 or 30%

Arts College= 120/300= 12/30= 2/5= 0.4 or 40%

Education College= 90/300= 9/30 = 0.3 or 30%

First we find the mean and variance of the three colleges using the formulas :

Mean = np

Standard Deviation= s= \sqrt{npq\\}

Business College

Mean = np =300*0.3= 90

Standard Deviation= s= \sqrt{npq\\}=\sqrt{0.3*0.7*300}= 7.94

Arts College

Mean = np =300*0.4= 120

Standard Deviation= s= \sqrt{npq\\}=\sqrt{0.4*0.6*300}=  8.49

Education College

Mean = np =300*0.3= 90

Standard Deviation= s= \sqrt{npq\\}=\sqrt{0.3*0.7*300}= 7.94

Now calculating the previous means with the same number of students

Business College

Mean = np =300*0.35= 105

Arts College

Mean = np =300*0.35= 105

Education College:

Mean = np =300*0.3= 90

Now formulate the null and alternative hypothesis

Business College

90≤ Mean≥105

Arts College

105 ≤ Mean≥ 120

Education College

U0 : mean= 90     U1: mean ≠ 90

From these we conclude that the  proportions have not changed significantly meaning that it falls outside the critical region.
