We need to complete the statement that " A number raised to a negative exponent is ___ negative"

Consider a number 'a' raised to a negative exponent say '-m'.

a^{-m}

According to the law of exponents.

We get, a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^{m}}

Now let us consider two cases:

Case 1 : If 'a' is a positive number, let a = 'x'.

Then, a^{-m}=x^{-m=}\frac{1}{x^{m}} which is positive.

Case 2: If 'a' is a negative number, let a= '-x '

Then, a^{-m}=(-x)^{-m=}\frac{1}{-x^{m}} which is negative.

Therefore, we can say that

" A number raised to a negative exponent is sometimes negative".

Answer:

The value of ROE that will be exceeded by 78​% of the firms is -1.77%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The mean ROE for the firms studied was 14.93​% and the standard deviation was 21.74​%. This means that \mu = 0.1493, \sigma = 0.2174

What value of ROE will be exceeded by 78​% of the​ firms?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.78 = 0.22.

This is Z = -0.77

So:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.77 = \frac{X - 0.1493}{0.2174}

X - 0.1493 = -0.77*0.2174

X = -0.0177

The value of ROE that will be exceeded by 78​% of the firms is -1.77%.

In this circle we have major arc RQ which is the really big one measuring 40x, and we have minor arc RQ, which is what we are looking for.  Minor arc RQ is double the measure of the angle that intercepts it.  That means that minor arc RQ is 2(12x-12), which is 24x - 24.  The measure of the outside of any circle will always and forever be 360 degrees;  therefore, 40x + 24x - 24 = 360.  Combining like terms gives us 64x = 384 and x = 6.  Now sub in that 6 for the x in the angle 12x - 12 to get that that angle measures 12(6)-12 = 60.  Again, the angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts, so minor arc RQ is 120 degrees, third choice down.
