A manager was assigned the task of investigating the error in payments for routine purchases made by the purchasing department. The manager randomly selected 12 payments, investigated them thoroughly, and determined the payment error for each of these payments. The payment error was defined as the difference between the amount paid and what should have been paid. The payment errors determined for these selected payments were as follows: $17 $25 $14 -$10 $20 $40 $35 $30 $28 $22 $15 $16 (1) Determine the (two-sided) 95% confidence interval for the population mean payment error, and type the value of the upper bound in your (two-sided) confidence interval. (You don’t need to type the value of the lower bound in the confidence interval). Please keep your answer with 2 decimal places.

step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

the answer is c
