The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
(new - old) / old * 100% 

new = 60 
old = 72 

(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% 
-12 / 72 * 100% 
= -1/6 * 100% 
= -0.1666... * 100% 
≈ -16.667% 

Because it is negative, that's a decrease. 

Answer: 
A decrease of about 16.7%

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are true? Check all that apply.

lbvjy [14]

Hello,

1: dom f=R
2: img f =R
3: 2x²-x-6=2(x²-2x/4+1/46)-6-1/8=2(x-1/4)²-49/8
Vertex=(1/4,-49,8)

4: roots are -3/2 and 2
2(x-1/4)²-49/8=1/8[(4x-1)²-49]=1/8*(4x+6)(4x-8)

5:
From the vertex to ∞
[-1/4 , ∞)

Answer:

The Point estimate of the Population proportion E = 0.039≅0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the sample size 'n' = 992

and x = 570

The Population proportion

$p = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{570}{992} = 0.5745$

Step(ii):-

The point estimate of the Population proportion is determined by

$E = 2.576 \frac{\sqrt{0.574(1-0.574)} }{\sqrt{992} }$

E = 0.039≅0.04

Final answer:-

The point estimate of the Population proportion E = 0.039≅0.04
