The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%

Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120

Answer: 10 ft of gold wire now costs $120
Gold wire now costs $12 per foot.

What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean percentage change in the price per share of stock during the fir
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

(-0.1059 ; - 0.0337)

Step-by-step explanation:

The data table is attached in the picture below:

These is a matched pair design ; which requires taking the difference of the two values for each sample :

The mean and standard deviation of the difference will be used to construct the confidence interval :

The mean of difference, dbar = Σx/n = - 0.0698

The standard deviation of difference, Sd ;

Sd = [√Σ(d - dbar)²/(n-1)] = 0.1054

n = sample size = 25

The confidence interval :

dbar ± [TCritical * Sd/√n]

Tcritical at 90% ; df = n -1 = 25 -1

Tcritical(90% , 24) = 1.1711

C.I = - 0.0698 ± (1.711 * 0.1054/√25)

C.I = - 0.0698 ± 0.0361

C.I = (-0.1059 ; - 0.0337)
