I think i have all the info...
So my question is how to calculate the voltage gain for the amplifier? and the ratio of the voltage amplitudes? Is their a formula or just by reading the graph..

Schematic + Problem:

The output on the graph is 290mV peak but you don't know and the graph does not show if the input is 5mV RMS, 5mV peak or 5mV p-p.

It is not difficult to calculate the voltage gain.

i really appreciate the help, but one i know the input, what can i do then? And how do do iget the input or know it?

Don't you know how to calculate the voltage gain? It is simple.

If you can magnify the input signal on the graph then you can measure the input accurately. Then you can see the voltage gain of the circuit.

The voltage gain of a transistor is the collector total R divided by the emitter total R.
The collector total R is the collector resistor in parallel with the load resistor.
The emitter total R is the emitter resistor in series with the internal emitter resistance of the transistor.
The internal emitter resistance is 0.026 divided by the emitter current.
This assumes that the capacitors in the circuit have enough value that they are not performing like highpass filters which reduces the low frequency voltage gain.

Sorry for the intrusion, but how low is low? Aren't AC coupled caps supposed to behave as shorts at high frequency?
