It would be 34.34
Hope this helps! :)
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
Since those are the zeros, we can say that the equation would have to be
x(x-1)(x-6), then we just expand to get x^3 - 7x^2 + 6x
Answer:
68% of an investment earning a return between 6 percent and 24 percent.
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 = 15
Standard deviation = 9
How likely is it to earn a return between 6 percent and 24 percent?
6 = 15 - 1*9
6 is one standard deviation below the mean
24 = 15 + 1*9
24 is one standard deviation above the mean
By the empirical rule, there is a 68% of an investment earning a return between 6 percent and 24 percent.
This is fairly simple
Plug in the numerical values given for each variable.
5(-2) -3(2) -(-3)
-10 -6 + 3 (negative x negative = positive)
-16 + 3
-13 is the final answer
