Andrew plans to retire in 32 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on pa

st returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal. (a) What is the probability (assuming that the past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 32 years will exceed 14%

Answer: 0.3974

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal.

Real annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean : \mu=0.087

Standard deviation : \sigma=0.202

We assume that the past pattern of variation continues.

Let x be the random variable that represents the annual returns on common stocks over the next 32 years .

The formula for z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 0.14, z=\dfrac{0.14-0.087}{0.202}\approx0.26

By using the standard normal distribution table , we have

The  probability that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 32 years will exceed 14% :-

P(x>0.14)=P(z>0.26)=1-P(z\leq0.26)\\\\=1-0.6025681=0.3974319\approx0.3974

Plug in the dimensions to the formula given using a handy dandy calculator for both problems. 

1. The diameter of the bottom of the cone is 4 so the radius (half that) is 2. Volume = 1/3 * pi * (2)² * 6
= 1/3 * pi * 4 * 6
= 1/3 * pi * 24
= 8 * pi
≈ 25.1327 cm³

2. They give you all you need, the radius.
Volume = 4/3 * pi * (6)³
= 4/3 * pi * 216
= 288 * pi
≈ 904.7787 in³

A seat on a Ferris wheel is level with the center of the wheel. The diameter of the wheel is 210 feet (ft). If the wheel
frutty [35]

Answer:

The change in the height of the seat of the Ferris wheel is a reduction in height of approximately 74.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The position of the seat on the Ferris wheel = The center level of the wheel

The diameter of the Ferris wheel = 210 feet

The angle of rotation of the wheel = 45° counterclockwise

The height of a point on the Ferris wheel is given by the relation;

h = A·cos(b·x + c) + d

With regards to the question, we have;

h = The height of the seat of the Ferris wheel

A = The amplitude = 1/2 × The diameter of the wheel = 210/2 = 105 feet

360/b = The period

c = The phase shift = 90°

d = The mid line = 0

For a rotation of 45° counterclockwise or-45° clockwise, we have;

b·x = 45°, therefore;

h  = 105 × cos(45° + 90°) + 0 = 105 × cos(135°) + 0

h = 105 × cos(135°) ≈ -74.25 feet

Therefore, the height of the seat of the Ferris wheel reduces by 74.246 feet.

3 out of 5 picks are orange. If 12 picks are orange, has many picks are there in all.
hodyreva [135]
If 3 out of 5 are oranges, this means the ratio is 3 oranges for every 5 total.

If there are 12 oranges, this is 4 groups of 3 oranges.  You will need 4 groups of 5 total to make it equivalent.

4 x 5 = 20 total fruit.

<u>3</u> x <u>4 </u>=  <u>12</u>
5 x 4     20
