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

d) P(less than 5 of them gain value.)

P(gain value) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

P(x < 5)\\= P(x=0) + P(x = 1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3) +P(x = 4)\\ \binom{20}{0}(0.3)^{0}(1-0.3)^{20} +...+ \binom{20}{4}(0.3)^{4}(1-0.3)^{16} \\=0.2375

The terminal side of an angle, Theta, whose sine value is One-half
Kazeer [188]

Theta has a reference angle of 30° and is in Quadrant I or II.

Sin(theta) = ½

Basic angle: 30

<h3>What is the reference angle?</h3>

The acute angle between the terminal arm/terminal side and the x-axis. The reference angle is always positive. In other words, the reference angle is an angle sandwiched between the terminal side and the x-axis.

Angles: 30,

180-30 = 150

Because sin is positive in quadrants 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased by 229

First you need to find the 2%

So to find the 2%

2/100 * 11450=229

Now add 11450+229= 11679
