4 consecutive odd integers add up to -200. Find the integers.

1 answer:

4 0

Let
x = first odd integer
x + 2 = second odd integer
x + 4 = third odd integer
x + 6 = fourth odd integer

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = -200
4x = -200 - 2 - 4 - 6
4x = -212
x = -53

Therefore, the four consecutive integers are -53, -51, -49, -47.

I put $500 in a saving account that warns 7% interest compounded quarterly. How much will be in the account after 1 year? Rounde

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}

A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$500\\
r=rate\to 7\%\to \frac{7}{100}\to &0.07\\
n=

A=500\left(1+\frac{0.07}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 1}\implies A=500(1.0175)^4\implies A\approx 535.92951564$

4-It has been a bad day for the market, with 70% of securities losing value. You are evaluating a portfolio of 20 securities and

Answer:

b) 0.0007

c) 0.4163

d) 0.2375

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

We treat securities lose value as a success.

P(Security lose value) = 70% = 0.7

Then the securities lose value follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 20.

a) Assumptions

There are 20 independent trials.
Each trial have two possible outcome: security loose value or security does not lose value.
The probability for success of each trial is same, p = 0.7

b) P(all 20 securities lose value)

We have to evaluate:

$P(x = 20)\\= \binom{20}{0}(0.7)^0(1-0.7)^{20}\\= 0.0007$

0.0007 is the probability that all 20 securities lose value.

c) P(at least 15 of them lose value.)

$P(x \geq 15)\\= P(x=15) + P(x = 16) + P(x=17) + P(x=18) +P(x = 19) +P(x = 20)\\ \binom{20}{15}(0.7)^{15}(1-0.7)^{5} +...+ \binom{20}{20}(0.7)^{20}(1-0.7)^{0} \\=0.4163$
