Answer:

Option B. $87.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question selling price of 50 shares $12 per share and cost price is $12 per share.

Now we have to calculate the loss incurred in selling these shares.

Per share loss = (costing price - selling price)

                 loss = 13\frac{3}{4} - 12 = \frac{55}{4} - 12 = 13.75 - 12 = $1.75

Therefore total loss incurred in selling 50 shares = $1.75 × 50

                                                                                  = $87.50

Therefore Option B. $87.50 is the correct answer.

Answer:

The loss would be 1062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first convert the purchase price into a decimal.

133/4 = 33.25

Now multiply that my the number of shares bought.

33.25 * 50 = 1662.50

This is the amount that was spent. Now to find the sale price, multiply the number of shares by the new price.

50 * 12 = 600

And to find the total loss, subtract the amount of the purchase price from the sale price.

600 - 1662.50 = -1062.50

Ava is buying paint from Amazon. Ava
irina [24]

Answer:

2.625 cups or 21 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.

She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.

1 cup = 8 ounces

28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups

Now set up a ratio.

\frac{0.75}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}

X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)

Cross multiply and divide.

\frac{0.75}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}

x = 0.75 × 3.5

x = 2.625 cups

To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.

2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces

Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.

Hope that helps.

Suppose that X is a random variable with mean 30 and standard deviation 4. Also suppose that Y is a random variable with mean 50
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

a) Var[z] = 1600

    D[z] = 40

b) Var[z] = 2304

    D[z] = 48

c) Var[z] = 80

    D[z] = 8.94

d) Var[z] = 80

    D[z] = 8.94

e) Var[z] = 320

    D[z] = 17.88

Step-by-step explanation:

In general

V([x+y] = V[x] + V[y] +2Cov[xy]

how in this problem Cov[XY] = 0, then

V[x+y] = V[x] + V[y]

Also we must use this properti of the variance  

V[ax+b] = a^{2}V[x]

and remember that

standard desviation = \sqrt{Var[x]}

a) z = 35-10x

   Var[z] = 10^{2} Var[x] = 100*16 = 1600

   D[z] = \sqrt{1600} = 40

b) z = 12x -5

   Var[z] = 12^{2} Var[x] = 144*16 = 2304

   D[z] = \sqrt{2304} = 48

c) z = x + y

   Var[z] =  Var[x+y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80

   D[z] = \sqrt{80} = 8.94  

d) z = x - y

   Var[z] =  Var[x-y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80

   D[z] = \sqrt{80} = 8.94

e) z = -2x + 2y

   Var[z] = 4Var[x] + 4Var[y] = 4*16 + 4*64 = 320

  D[z] = \sqrt{320} = 17.88

A publisher reports that 54% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that t
dalvyx [7]

Answer and explanation:

Null hypothesis: p is not 54%

Alternative hypothesis : p is equal 54%

First find standard deviation

Standard deviation is:

σ = √[ P ( 1 - P ) / n ] = √[ 0.54×0.46/220 ] =0.033

The z score is calculated p-P/σ = (0.54-0.50)/0.033 = 1.2121

Therefore we can conclude that proportions are not same and fail to reject the null hypothesis
