Answer:

1. $80

2. 8.69%

3. 5.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Total dollar return

= Face value × interest rate + (Sale value - purchase value)

= $1,000 × $60 + ($940 - $920)

= $60 + $20

= $80

2. Total nominal rate of return equal to

= {Face value × interest rate + (Sale value - purchase value)} ÷ {Purchase value} × 100

= {$1,000 × $60 + ($940 - $920)} ÷ {$920} × 100

= ($60 + $20) ÷ ($920) × 100

= 8.69%

3. Total real rate of return is

= (1 + Nominal rate of return) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate) × 100

= (1 + 8.70%) ÷ (1 + 0.03) × 100

= 5.53%

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of aircraft accidents is 9 per month. Find P(0), the prob

Ugo [173]

Answer: 0.0001

It is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean number of aircraft accidents = 9 per month

The Poisson distribution formula :-

$\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$ , where $\lambda$ is the mean of the distribution.

If X = the number of aircraft accidents per month, then the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents will be :-

$\dfrac{e^{-9}(9)^0}{0!}=0.000123409804087\approx0.0001$

Hence, the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents = 0.0001

Since this is less than 0.5 , therefor it is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .

Taxi Driver charges a fixed rate of R to pick up a passenger in addition to Taxi Driver charges a rate of M for each mile driven

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

t=nm+r

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are trying to find time, represented by t, you set the equation equal to t. Then you need to add n multiplied by miles, m, to the fixed rate, r.

Problem 11

<h3>Answer: h = 2A/b</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b

A = (1/2)*b*h

2A = b*h

b*h = 2A

h = 2A/b

================================================

Problem 12

<h3>Answers:</h3>

Equation: (n+2)/5 = 14
Solution to that equation: n = 68

------------------

Explanation:

The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2

Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5

This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14

Solving the equation would look like this

(n+2)/5 = 14

n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5

n+2 = 70

n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides

n = 68

================================================

Problem 13

<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify

-2x + 5 > 13

-2*(-3) + 5 > 13

6 + 5 > 13

11 > 13

The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.

Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
