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.

Carlos has a fair die and a number cube. He will flip the fair die one time and roll the number cube one time. What is the proba
saul85 [17]

Answer: 0.42 and 5 outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

i guess that carlos has a fair coin and a number cube.

the probability can be calculated as the number of outcomes that we want divided the total number of outcomes.

The coin has two possible outcomes, heads and tails, then the probability of getting heads is p1 =1/2

the number cube has 6 numbers, 5 of those 6 numbers are greater than 1, then the probability of getting a number greater than 1 is p2 =5/6

the joint probability is the product of those two:

P = 1/2*5/6 = 5/12 = 0.42

The combinations that include heads and number greater than 1 are 5 combinations:

Heads and 2

Heads and 3

Heads and 4

Heads and 5

Heads and 6.
