An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, his stock in Company A was worth $7200 and his st

ock in Company B was worth $3510. The stock in Company A has decreased 24% since last year and the stock in Company B has decreased 20%. What was the total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

Given that last year stock for company A was $7200

The stock for company B last year was worth $3510

Stock in company A decreased by 24%

This means the new value of stock for company A became;

(100-24)/100 *$7200

76/100*$7200

0.76*7200 =$5472

Stock in company B decreased by 20%

This means the new value of stock for company B became;

(100-20)/100 *$3510

80/100*$3510

0.8*$3510

$2808

Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710

New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280

Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430

percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%

=2430/10710 *100 =22.689

=22.7%

Answer:

1. Refer to the explanation for the frequency table.

2. (a) 60%

   (b) 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1. The question is asking us to group the data according to the classes given and fill in the frequency (F), relative frequency (RF), cumulative frequency (CF) and relative cumulative frequency (RCF).

To compute the frequency for each class count the number of data that lies in the class range and write it. For the first class (1-5) we can see that there are 12 numbers which lie in the range 1 to 5. Those numbers are: 2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 5, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4. Similarly, for the second class, the frequency is 3 because 8, 8, 8 lie in this range from our existing data. For the third class 11-15 there are 2 numbers in the given data which lie in this range and those numbers are 12, 15. Similarly, the rest of the frequencies can be computed.

For the relative frequency, the frequency of each class is divided by the total frequency i.e. 20.  

For the class 1-5, RF = 12/20 = 0.6.  

For 6-10, RF = 3/20 = 0.15

For 11-15, RF = 2/20 = 0.1

For 16-20, RF = 1/20 = 0.05

For 21-25, RF=1/20 = 0.05

For 26-30, RF = 0/20 = 0.00

For 31-34, RF= 1/20 = 0.05.

To compute the cumulative frequency, add the existing frequency of each class with the previous frequencies.

For 1-5, CF = 0+12 = 12

For 6-10, CF = 12+3=15

For 11-15, CF = 12+3+2 = 17

For 16-20, CF=12+3+2+1 = 18

For 21-25, CF = 12+3+2+1+1=19

For 25-30, CF = 12+3+2+1+1+0=19

For 31-34, CF = 12+3+2+1+1+0+1=20

Now, to compute relative cumulative frequency, add the existing relative frequency of each class with the previous relative frequencies.  

For 1-5, RCF = 0+0.6

For 6-10, RCF = 0.6 + 0.15 = 0.75

For 11-15, RCF = 0.6+0.15+0.1 = 0.85

The rest of the relative cumulative frequencies can be computed in the same way.

Class(Minutes)           F       RF     CF     RCF

      1-5                       12     0.60    12     0.60  

      6-10                      3     0.15     15     0.75  

      11-15                      2     0.10     17     0.85  

      16-20                    1      0.05    18     0.90  

      21-25                    1      0.05    19     0.95  

      26-30                   0     0.00    19     0.95  

      31-34                     1     0.05    20       1  

       <u>Total                  20</u>  

Part 2. Now, we are asked to compute the Ogive graph which is also called as the cumulative frequency graph. The cumulative frequency needs to be plotted on the y-axis and the upper limit of each class needs to be plotted on the x-axis. The graph is attached.

(a) From the graph we can see that the number of workers who spend less than 5 minutes on unsolicited e-mail and spam are 12. So the answer for this part is 12 workers.

Percentage = 12/20 x 100 = 60%

(b) From the graph we can see that the number of workers who spend less than 10 minutes on spam e-mail are 15. The question is asking for the number of people who spend more than 10 minutes. For this we need to subtract 15 from the total number of workers.  

Number of workers spending more than 10 minutes = 20-15 = 5 workers.

Percentage = 5/20 x 100 = 25%

inn [45]

Your question is incomplete.

Answer choices not apply.

But if this is your question in the picture below then this is your answer..

Answer:

The line intersects the y-axis at (0, −2).

The equation of the line is y = −x − 2.

The line intersects the x-axis at (−2, 0).

Which is an equation of the line that passes
yan [13]

Answer:

y=1/2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are parallel will have the same slope, so the slope will remain 1/2. However, the y-intercepts can't be the same because then they will overlap each other instead. So we must solve for the missing y-intercept in this case:

y = 1/2x + b

4 = 1/2(-4) + b

4 = -2 + b

6 = b

b = 6

Since the y-intercept is b=6, then the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,4) and is parallel to the line y=1/2x-4 is y=1/2x+6
