The decrease is 8.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Old price = $23000

New price = $21000

Difference = New price - Old price

Difference = 21000 - 23000 = -2000

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

$Percent\ decrease=\frac{Difference}{New\ value}*100\\\\Percent\ decrease=\frac{2000}{23000}*100\\\\Percent\ decrease=\frac{200000}{23000}\\\\Percent\ decrease=8.69\%$

Rounding off to nearest tenth;

Percent decrease = 8.7%

The decrease is 8.7%

Point M is the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Find the length of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

AB = 142

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is the midpoint, then AM = MB

6x+5 = 7x -6

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x+5 = 7x-6x -6

5 = x-6

Add 6 to each side

5+6 = x-6+6

11=x

We want to find AB

AB = 6x+5+7x-6

AB = 13x -1

= 13(11) -1

=143-1

= 142

Feliz [49]

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%)
