Formula:

x + 2(x+1) = 17
x + 2x + 2 = 17
3x + 2 = 17
3x = 15
x = 5

So, the answer is 5 and 6

Hope this helped!

Since 2 dozen cookies were baked, that is 24 and 14 were left.

Then 10 were eaten.

sample of 150 Publix cashiers showed a mean hourly wage of $ 8.00, with a standard deviation of $ 1. Give an interval that is li

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

B. (6, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 8

Standard deviation = 1

Give an interval that is likely to contain about 95% of the sampled cashiers' hourly wages.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the sampled cashiers' hourly wages will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so from 2 standard deviations below the mean to two standard deviations above the mean

Two standard deviations below the mean:

8 - 2*1 = 6

Two standard deviations above the mean

8 + 2*1 = 10

So the correct answer is:

B. (6, 10)

Suppose you own two stocks, A and B. In year 1, stock A earns a 2% return and stock B earns a 9% return. In year 2, stock A earn

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Both the stock have the same expected return.

Step-by-step explanation:

In year 1 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 2% return

Stock B = 9% return

In year 2 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 18% return

Stock B = 11% return

Compute the expected return for stock A as follows:

$Expected\ return\ for\ A=\frac{2+18}{2}=10\%$

Compute the expected return for stock B as follows:

$Expected\ return\ for\ B=\frac{9+11}{2}=10\%$

Thus, both the stock have the same expected return.
