Answer:
A. 0.3204 B. $14.669
Explanation:
Mean = 8.9 SD = 4.5
Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]
= 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)
Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204
The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204
b. P
(
X > x
) = 0.10
1 − P
(
X − mean)/SD ≤ (x − mean)
/SD = 0.10
P
(
Z ≤ z
) = 0.90
Where,
z = (x − mean
)/SD
Excel function for the value of z:
=NORMSINV(0.9)
=1.282
Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282
= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282
x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9
x = 14.669
He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.
Answer: 5.23%
Explanation:
Given , interest rate, r =0.08; current exchange rate, c =0.78 and forward
rate, f= 0.76
Let X represent the return earned by the U.S. investing in Canadian security
x = 1+((1+r)*f/c)
x =1+(1.08*[0.76/0.78])
= 5.23%.
If a nation's currency drops in value significantly, the International Monetary Fund could step in and buy the currency so that some stability could occur economically
Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Liquidity preference theory was given by J.M Keynes. He states that money is demanded by people because it holds certain liquidity.
There are various motives involved for which people prefer liquidity. These motive are precautionary, transactionary and speculative motives respectively.
When the demand for money is more than supply, it means there is excessive demand. This excess demand will lead to increase in the interest level. At higher interest, the quantity of money demanded will fall.
