An analyst has developed the following probability distribution for the rate of return for a common stock.
Scenario Probability Rate of Return
10 0.34 -19%
20 0.48 8%
30 0.18 26%
a. Calculate the expected rate of return. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
b. Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Use the percentage values for your calculations (for example 10% not 0.10). Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 2.06

b) variance = 270.90 , std = 275.14

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine Expected rate of return

attached below is the calculated table for the solution provided

∴ Expected rate of return = ∑ Xp(x) = -6.46 + 3.84 + 4.68 = 2.06

b) Determine the variance and standard deviation

Variance ( Vx ) = E(x)^2 - [ Expected rate of return ]^2

                         = 275.14 - ( 2.06 )^2 ≈ 270.90

standard deviation = √ variance = √270.90 = 16.459

note : E(x)^2 = ∑ x^2 p(x) = 275.14

Liam is buying bottles of soda in packages that contain 8 bottles each. If the total number of sodas Liam bough t was between 45 and 50, how many did he buy? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the multiples of 8

8,16,24,32,40,48

48 is between 45 and 50 so he must have bought 48

Answer:

6 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question we need to know the multiple of 8 which are:

8 x 1 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

8 x 3 = 24

8 x 4 = 32

8 x 5 = 40

8 x 6 = 48

8 x 7 = 56

There is only one multiple, which is greater than 45 but less than 50, which is 8x6 l.

This means he bought 6 bottles.

Find the value of x.
A. 57
B. 72
C. 90
D. 124

Answers

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Formed by Two Chords= 1/2(SUM of Intercepted Arcs)

105 = 1/2 (120+x)

210 = 120+x

Subtract 120 from each side

210-120 = x

90 =x

The value of  Intercepted Arcs x will be 90. so option C is correct.

What is the relation between line perpendicular to chord from the center of circle?

If the considered circle has center O and chord AB, then if there is perpendicular from O to AB at point C, then that point C is bisecting(dividing in two equal parts) the line segment AB.

Or

|AC| = |CB|

Angle Formed by Two Chords= 1/2 (Sum of Intercepted Arcs)

105 = 1/2 (120+x)

210 = 120+x

Subtract 120 from each side;

210-120 = x

90 =x

Hence, the value of  Intercepted Arcs x will be 90. so option C is correct.

Answers

The output of the first one is 21 and you need to find x to the power of 2 subtract 4. So to find where we started add 4 to 21. This gets you to 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. So for the first one X=5

Work showed:

Y=x^2-4
21=x^2-4
Add 4 to both sides
25=x^2
Find the square root of 25 to get X as 5

For the second output (y), plug 21 for x

Y=4x+6
Y=4(21)+6
Y=84+6
Y=90

First part: X=5
Second part: Y=90

Answers

Answer:

c) The less than symbol should be replaced with the less than or equal to symbol.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-4 - n/-2) < 5

The equation written above could be interpreted as :

The product of 3 and the difference of -4 and the quotient of a number, n and -2 is less than 5

This means that the only error in Maddison's representation is the inequality sign, the inequality sign used by Maddison is wrong.

The equation should be used with a ≤ sign and expressed thus :

3(-4 - n/-2) ≤ 5

This means the left hand side (L. H. S) is less than or equal to 5 ; this means the L. H. S is at most 5

..?.. = 0.

Answers

The plane you want is parallel to another plane, x - y + z = -5, so they share a normal vector. In this case, it's ⟨1, -1, 1⟩.

The plane must also pass through the point (0, 4, 4) since it contains r(t). Then the equation of the plane is

x, y - 4, z - 4⟩ • ⟨1, -1, 1⟩ = 0

x - (y - 4) + (z - 4) = 0

x - y + z = 0

The picture shows the graphs of the movement of a pedestrian (B) and a bicyclist (A) . Using the graphs, answer the following questions:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, look at the values of each line at the 1-hour mark.

For line A (the bicyclist), the distance is about 25 km.

For line B (the pedestrian), the distance is about 5 km.

To determine how many times greater the bicyclist distance is than the pedestrian, divide the values:

[tex]\frac{25\text{km}}{5\text{km}}=5[/tex]

Therefore, the distance covered by the bicyclist for 1 hour is 5 times greater than the distance covered by the pedestrian for the same amount of time.

Gant Accounting performs two types of services, Audit and Tax. Gant’s overhead costs consist of computer support, $267000; and legal support, $133500. Information on the two services is:
(See screenshot)

Answers

Answer:

$240,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Overhead cost :

Computer support = $267000

legal support = $133500

Overheads applied to audit services = (Number of CPU minutes used by Audit services * activity rate per CPU minute)

+

(number of legal hours used by Audit services * activity rate per legal hour)

The overhead applied to audit is thus :

40,000 * (267,000 / (40,000 + 10,000)) +

200 * (133500 / (200 + 800)

(40000 * 5.34) + (200 * 133.5)

= $240,300

If two bags of popcorn and three drinks cost $14,
and four bags of popcorn and one drink costs
$18, how much does a drink cost?

Answers

Answer:

2dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

one bag of popcorn is 4 dollars so 4 bags of popcorn is 16 plus 1 drink which is 2 dollars equal 18.

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

If two bags of popcorn and three drinks cost $14, and four bags of popcorn and one drink costs $18.

Let the cost of each popcorn be 'x' and the cost of each drink be 'y'. Then the equations are given as,

2x + 3y = 14           ...1

4x + y = 18            ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

2x + 3(18 - 4x) = 14

2x + 54 - 12x = 14

10x = 40

x = $4

Then the value of the variable 'y' is calculated as,

y = 18 - 4(4)

y = 18 - 16

y = $2

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.
