In an annual report to investors, an investment firm claims that the share price of one of their bond funds had very little variability. The report shows the average price as $15.00 with a variance of 0.19. One of the investors wants to investigate this claim. He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517. Can the investor conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05. Assume the population is normally distributed.
Required:
State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary
In this question, the variance of the population is tested. From the data given in the exercise, we build the hypothesis, then we find the value of test statistic and it's respective p-value, to conclude the test. From this, it is found that the conclusion is:
The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.
----------------
Claimed variance of 0.19:
This means that at the null hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is of 0.19, that is:
[tex]H_0: \sigma^2 = 0.19[/tex]
----------------
Test if the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is different of the claimed value of 0.19, that is:
[tex]H_1: \sigma^2 \neq 0.19[/tex]
The test statistic for the population standard deviation/variance is:[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
In which n is the sample size, is the value tested for the variance and s is the sample standard deviation.
----------------
0.19 is tested at the null hypothesis, as the variance:
This means that [tex]\sigma_0^2 = 0.19[/tex]
----------------
He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517.
This means that [tex]n = 22, s^2 = (0.2517)^2 = 0.0634[/tex]
----------------
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{21*0.0634}{0.19}[/tex]
[tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex]
----------------
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is found using a chi-square for the variance calculator, considering a test statistic of [tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex] and 22 - 1 = 21 degrees of freedom, and a two-tailed test(test if the mean is different of a value).
Using the calculator, the p-value of the test is 0.0038.
The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.

Hal's business made $500,000 last year. This year, his business made $650,000. What is the percentage difference? [?]%
Answer:
the answer is 30 percent.
Step-by-step explanation:
i did it on acellus.
Solve the system of equations.
3x + 4y + 3z = 5
2x + 2y + 3z = 5
5x+ 6y+7z = 7
a. (x = 13, y=-6, z = -2)
b. (x = 15, y = -8, z = -4)
c. (x = 16, y = -9, z = -1)
d. (x = 14, y = -7, z = 3)
Answer:
x = 14
y = -7
z = -3
but this is none of the provided answer options !
Step-by-step explanation:
it's really easy by principle. it's just some work to do.
we try to find equations to express one variable in terms of the others.
but one thing there is : your teacher made a mistake.
the right solution is x = 14, y = -7, z = -3
your teacher made a typo at d.
but the right answer should be d.
just to give you an idea how this can be done (and also to prove that there is a mistake by the teacher):
we can directly try to transform one expression into one that describes x by y and z.
and then another to describe e.g. z by y. and then solve the third one just for y. and then we get the other 2 by these other expressions.
or we can e.g. add or subtract one equation to/from another. this is one of these cases, because we can find really simple expressions that way :
we do
5x + 6y + 7z = 7
- (3x + 4y + 3z = 5)
- (2x + 2y + 3z = 5)
---------------------------
0x + 0y + z = -3
=> z = -3
3x + 4y - 3×3 = 5
3x = -4y + 14
x = (-4y + 14)/3
2×(-4y + 14)/3 + 2y - 9 = 5
(-8y + 28)/3 + 2y = 14
-8y + 28 + 6y = 42
-2y = 14
y = -7
x = (-4×-7 + 14)/3 = (28+14)/3 = 42/3 = 14

Find the fraction equivalent to 5/7 with: a) numerator 25 b) denominator 42
Answer:
a) 25/35
b) 30/42
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
Variable x = denominator if numerator is 25
5/7 = 25/x
5 × x = 7 × 25
5x = 175
x = 35
b)
Variable y = numerator if denominator is 42
5/7 = y/42
5 × 42 = 7 × y
210 = 7y
30 = y
25/35
30/42
To get 25/35 multiply by 5

You deposit $400 each month into an account earning 5% annual interest compounded monthly.
a) How much will you have in the account in 20 years?
b) How much total money will you put into the account?
c) How much total interest will you earn?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a) $164,413.47
b) $96,000
c) $68,413.47
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The account value is given by the annuity formula:
A = P(12/r)((1 +r/12)^(12·t) -1)
where monthly payment P earns interest at annual rate r compounded monthly for t years.
A = $400(12/0.05)((1 +0.05/12)^(12·20) -1) = $400(240)(1.712640285)
A ≈ $164,412.47
You will have $164,413.47 in the account after 20 years.
__
b) You put $400 in the account each month for 240 months, for a total of ...
$400 × 240 = $96,000 . . . . total of your deposits

Assume x and y are two odd numbers and x/y is an integer.
Which of the following statements are true?
I. x + y is odd
2. xy is odd.
3. x/y is odd
4. x-y is odd
Answer:
Let us check these out one at a time:
1. x + y is odd. FALSE. The sum of 2 odd numbers is even.
2. xy is odd. TRUE. The product of 2 odd numbers is odd.
3. x/y is odd. TRUE. The ratio of 2 odd numbers is odd, if the ratio is an integer.
4. x - y is odd. FALSE. The difference of 2 odd numbers is even.
Only statements 2 and 3 are TRUE, so that makes (C) the correct answer.
solve for x : 2(x^2+9)-4=0
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 2 and get 2x^2+18-4=0
combine like terms
2x^2+14=0
subtract 14
2x^2=-14
there can't be a square root of a negative number so there's no solution
Answer:
x = ±i sqrt(7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x^2+9)-4=0
Add 4 to each side
2(x^2+9)-4+4=0+4
2(x^2+9)=4
Divide by 2
2(x^2+9)/2=4/2
(x^2+9)=2
Subtract 9 from each side
x^2 +9-9 = 2-9
x^2 = -7
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(-7)
x = sqrt(-1 *7)
x = ±i sqrt(7)

The width of a rectangle is 9 less than twice its length. If the area of the rectangle is 129cm^2. What is the length of the diagonal? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
==========================================================
Explanation:
L = x = length of the rectangleW = 2x-9 = width of the rectangle, since its 9 less than twice the lengtharea of rectangle = L*W = 129
L*W = 129
x*(2x-9) = 129
2x^2-9x = 129
2x^2-9x-129 = 0
Apply the quadratic formula. We'll use a = 2, b = -9, c = -129.
[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(2)(-129)}}{2(2)}\\\\x = \frac{9\pm\sqrt{1113}}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{9\pm33.36165464}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{9+33.36165464}{4}\ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{9-33.36165464}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{42.36165464}{4}\ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-24.36165462}{4}\\\\x \approx 10.59041366\ \text{ or } \ x \approx -6.09041364\\\\[/tex]
We ignore the negative solution because a negative length makes no sense.
The length is approximately L = 10.5904 cm.
The width is 2L-9 = 2*10.5904-9 = 12.1808 cm approximately.
As a quick check,
L*W = 10.5904*12.1808 = 128.99954432
which isn't too far off from 129. We have rounding error which is why we don't perfectly land on the target area value. If you wanted to get closer to the value 129, then use more decimal digits in the approximations of L and W.
----------------------------
If you draw a diagonal in the rectangle, then you form two identical or congruent right triangles.
Focusing on one of those triangles, we have
a = 10.5904b = 12.1808c = unknown hypotenuse = diagonal lengthApply the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )
c = sqrt( (10.5904)^2 + (12.1808)^2 )
c = 16.1408940520653
c = 16.14
The diagonal is roughly 16.14 cm long.
