Answer:
1.067 would be the answer your looking for in this question.
Let's say the item starts off at $100.
A 55% decrease means 100%-55% = 45% of the value is still there. The item is now worth 0.45*100 = 45 dollars.
Now increase this by 25%. The long way to do this is to add 25% of 45 onto 45
(25% of 45) + (45) = 0.25*45+45 = 11.25+45 = 56.25
Or, we can multiply 45 by 1.25 since the multiplier 1.25 represents a 25% increase
1.25*45 = 56.25
-----------------------------------------------------
The item was $100, it drops to $45 after the 55% decrease, then it is $56.25 after the 25% increase.
Let's compute the percent difference
A = 100 = old value
B = 56.25 = new value
C = percent difference
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(56.25-100)/100
C = -43.75%
The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.
So combining a 55% decrease and a 25% increase leads to an overall decrease of 43.75%
-----------------------------------------------------
A shortcut is to multiply 0.45 and 1.25 to get 0.5625
Then subtract this from 1 to get 1-0.5625 = 0.4375
This is another way to see we have a 43.75% decrease.
There are

total ways to draw any 6 numbers from the range 1 to 51, regardless of order.
Given 6 selected numbers that match those drawn by the lottery, there are

ways of rearranging them. So the probability of winning 1st prize is

Next, given 6 selected numbers of which 5 match those drawn by the lottery, there are

ways of rearranging those 5 matching numbers. There are 46 remaining numbers that didn't get drawn, so the probability of winning 2nd prize is

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given,
Mean, μ = (10.31 + 17.22 + 26.62 + 22.84)/4 = 19.2475
Standard deviation, σ = √summation(x - mean)/n
Summation(x - mean) = (10.31 - 19.2475)^2+ (17.22 - 19.2475)^2 + (26.62 - 19.2475)^2 + (22.84 - 19.2475)^2 = 151.249475
σ = √(151.249475/4)
σ = 6.15
number of sample, n = 4
The z score for 98% confidence interval is 2.33
We will apply the formula
Confidence interval
= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n
It becomes
19.2475 ± 2.33 × 6.15/√4
= 19.2475 ± 2.33 × 3.075
= 19.2475 ± 7.16
The lower end of the confidence interval is 19.2475 - 7.16 = 12.09
The upper end of the confidence interval is 19.2475 + 7.16 = 26.41
