Answer:

loss = - 672.3 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement John was notified of a 3.3% raise in a year. It shows the income increases.

Raise in a year = 3.3% =0.033

Raise = old income * 0.033 = 63,800*0.033 =$ 2105.4

New income = $63,800 + $ 2105.4 = $65905.4

Now the statements states that CPI index increased by 4.4%

Then,

the price index of previous year = 100

and the price index of this year = 100+4.4 = 104.4

100/104.4 = x/65905.4

By cross multiplication:

x = 65905.4 × 100 / 104.4

x=63127.7

Therefore the change in his purchasing power is   $63127.7 - $63,800

= - 672.3

The answer contains negative sign which shows loss in purchasing power

Hence loss = - 672.3 ....

A study dealing with health care issues plans to take a sample survey of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that
frutty [35]

Answer:

The population parameter of this study is the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population parameter is a numerical measure representing a certain characteristic of the population. For example, population mean, population variance, population proportion, and so on.

The population parameter is computed using all the values of the population.

The population parameter can be estimated using the sample statistic. If the value of the population parameter is not known, then a random sample of large size, say <em>n</em> ≥ 30 can be selected from the population and the statistic value can be computed. This statistic value is considered as the point estimate of the parameter. It is also known as the unbiased estimator of the parameter.

In this case the survey involved sampling of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care in the past year.

The sample selected is used to compute the sample mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care.

So, the population parameter of this study is the population mean.

Twice a number plus 4 is 8
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
To do this, we must allow this hidden number to be x.
2x + 4 = 8
Now we will solve by first subtracting 4 from each side:
2x = 4
Now we will divide each side by 2 to isolate the variable:
x = 2
Therefore, the mystery number is 2.

The common difference of an ap is -2 find its sum of first term is hundred and last term is minus 10
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The sum of the arithmetic progression is 2520

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum, Sₙ, of an arithmetic progression, AP, is given as follows;

S_{n}=\dfrac{n}{2}\cdot \left (2\cdot a+\left (n-1  \right )\cdot d  \right )

Where;

n = The nth term of the progression

a = The first term = 100

d = The common difference = -2

Given that the last term = -10, we have;

-10 = 100 + (n - 1) ×(-2)

n = (-10 - 100)/(-2) + 1 = 56

Therefore, the sum of the 56 terms of the arithmetic progression is S_{56}=\dfrac{56}{2}\cdot \left (2\cdot 100+\left (56-1  \right )\cdot (-2)  \right )

Which gives;

S_{56}={28}\cdot \left (200-\left 110 \right ) = 2520
