Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 5​%

. A​ mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects 28 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 4.66​%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the alpha equals 0.10 level of​ significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed.

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{28-1}{25} 21.7156 =23.453

p_v =P(\chi^2

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=CHISQ.DIST(23.453,27,TRUE)"

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v >\alpha so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is not significantly lower than 5% so we can't conclude that we have a moderate risk for this case.

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

n=28 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.1 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =21.7156 represent the sample variance obtained

\sigma^2_0 =25 represent the value that we want to test

Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population variance specification is lower than 25, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 25

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

Calculate the statistic  

For this test we can use the following statistic:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

\chi^2 =\frac{28-1}{25} 21.7156 =23.453

Calculate the p value

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case 27. And since is a right tailed test the p value would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=CHISQ.DIST(23.453,27,TRUE)"

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v >\alpha so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is not significantly lower than 5% so we can't conclude that we have a moderate risk for this case.

Which are correct representations of the inequality 6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x – 1)? Check all that apply.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x - 1)

⇔ 6x ≥ 3 + 8x - 4        => remove the parentheses

⇔ 6x - 8x ≥ 3 - 4

⇔ -2x ≥ -1

⇔ 2x ≤ 1 (or 1 ≥ 2x)

⇔ x ≤ 1/2

⇔ x ≤ 0.5

The answer for the question should be:

1 ≥ 2x

6x ≥ 3 + 8x – 4

and the first graph.

A thermometer reading 7 °C is brought into a room with a constant temperature of 34°C. If the thermometer reads 14 °C after 4 ​m
never [62]
For this case we are going to define the following variable:
 x: time in minutes
 We write the linear function that represents the problem:
 t (x) = (14/4) x + 7
 For x = 6 we have:
 t (6) = (14/4) * (6) + 7
 t (6) = 28 ° C
 For x = 11 we have:
 t (11) = (14/4) * (11) + 7
 t (11) = 45.5 ° C
 Answer:
 
t (6) = 28 ° C
 
t (11) = 45.5 ° C

What are the mensure of 1 angle and 2 angle? Show ur work or explain
STatiana [176]

Answer:

angle 1 = 105º

angle 2  = 75º

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 2  = 75º

corresponding angle to the 75º angle

angle 1 = 105º

it's supplementary to angle 2

180 - 75 = 105

A pair of shoes cost $22.99 to make, the local store sells them for $36.99. What is the percent markup? (Round to the nearest hu
ASHA 777 [7]

C: 60.9% is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is calculated by using the formula

Mark\ up=Selling\ price-make\ price

Given

Make Price = $22.99

Selling Price = $36.99

So the mark up will be:

Mark\ up=36.99-22.99\\=\$14

Percent mark up will be:

Mark\ up=\frac{Mark\ up}{Make\ price}*100\\=\frac{14}{22.99}*100\\=0.6089*100\\=60.89\%

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth percent

60.9%

Hence,

C: 60.9% is the right answer
