According to the "January theory," if the stock market is up for the month of January, it will be up for the year. If it is down

in January, it will be down for the year. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, this theory held for 22 out of the last 34 years. Suppose there is no truth to this theory; that is, the probability it is either up or down is 0.5. What is the probability this could occur by chance? (Round your answer to 6 decimal places.)

Answer:

The required probability is 0.031918.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, this theory held for 22 out of the last 34 years.

Therefore n=34

The probability it is either up or down is 0.5.

Thus the value of p =0.5 and q = 0.5

Now calculate the probability

Let X is the number of years that theory held.

X has a binomial distribution with n=34 and p=0.5

P(X=22)=\binom{34}{22}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=\frac{34!}{22!\times 12!}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=548354040\times 5.8207660913\times 10^{11}\\P(X=22)=0.0319184060208\\P(X=22)\approx0.031918

Hence, the required probability is 0.031918.

The table shows population data year 2000 118,000 2006 138,000 a. what is the percent of change to 2006 b. Use this percent of c
worty [1.4K]
A) Now look, in the year 2000, the population is 118,000
In the year 2006 is 138,000
To find the percent change |Original Amt - New Amt|                                            --------------------------------       x100
                                                 Original Amt


So for this question you would do 118,00 - 138,000 (ignore the negativesss)

     and you get -20,000 (ignore the negatives) and then you get 20,000


Now, you have to do 20,000 divided by 118,000 x 100


20,000 divided by 118,000 and you get 0.169491525


Now you have to multiply 0.169491525 by 100

0.169491525 x 100 = 16.9491525

Round this and you get a 16.9% change.

b) To predict the population in 2012 you will have to do 138,000 + 16.9%

To calculate this you have to do this:
                                                 138,000 x 0.169 = 23322

Now add 23,322, to 138,000 and you get 161,322.

A) 16.9%

B) 161,322

hope this helped :)
