Answer:

106 7/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simplifying the pieces</u>

  • 57/8 + 13/4 + 13/2 + 97/8 + 387/16
  • 114/16 + 52/16 + 104/16 + 194/16 + 387/16 + 4/16
  • 855/16
  • 855/16 x 2
  • 855/8
  • 106 7/8 inches

The largest possible value of b is 10, since for some x = x₀ it could be the case that f(x₀) = -5 and g(x₀) = -2; then f(x₀) g(x₀) = -5 × -2 = 10.

If the distance covered by an object in time t is given by s(t)=t^2+5t , where s(t) is in meters and t is in seconds, what is th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

E. 44 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the distance covered by the object is

s(t)=t^2+5t

where s(t) is in meters and t is in seconds.

The distance covered by the object after 1 second is

s(1)=1^2+5(1)=6m

The distance covered by the object after 1 second is

s(1)=5^2+5(5)=50m

The distance covered between 1 second and 5 seconds is

50-6=44m

Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally dis-tributed with mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick fiv
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = rate of return on stocks.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution, N (9, 3²).

Compute the probability that a stock has rate of return more than 12% as follows:

P(X\geq 12)=1-P(X

**Use the <em>z</em> table for the probability.

The probability of a stock having rate of return more than 12% is 0.1587.

Now define a random variable <em>Y</em> as the number of stocks that has rate of return more than 12%.

The sample size of stocks selected is, <em>n</em> = 5.

The random variable <em>Y </em>follows a Binomial distribution.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 2) as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-{5\choose 0}(0.1587)^{0}(1-0.1587)^{5-0}-{5\choose 1}(0.1587)^{1}(1-0.1587)^{5-1}\\=1-0.4215-0.3975\\=0.1810

Thus, the probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

taurus [48]

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the Y is 0 for both, you can simply draw a line graph with one point at 15, and the other at -1. The difference between 15 and -1 is 16. Or ABS(15-(-1))=16
