Investing is a game of chance. Suppose there is a 36% chance that a risky stock investment will end up in a total loss of your i

nvestment. Because the rewards are so high, you decide to invest in five independent risky stocks. Find the probability that at least one of your five investments becomes a total loss. Round to the nearest ten-thousandth when necessary.

Answer: P(x ≥ 1) = 0.893

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume a binomial distribution for the outcome of the investment. The formula is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - r) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.36

q = 0.64

n = 5

Therefore,

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - P(x = 0)

P(x = 0) = 5C0 × 0.36^0 × 0.64^(5 - 0)

P(x = 0) = 1 × 1 × 0.107

P(x = 0) = 0.107

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.107 = 0.893

9. If f(x) = 5x-4 and f(2a) =156 , then what is the value of a?
solmaris [256]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

f(x) = 5x - 4

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

f(2a) = 5(2a) - 4

f(2a) = 10a - 4

156 = 10a - 4

10a - 4 = 156

Add sides 4

10a - 4 + 4 = 156 + 4

10a = 160

Divide sides by 10

\frac{10a}{10}  =  \frac{160}{10}  \\

a = 16

Course Activity: Relationships Betwee
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is in the form p/q where p and q are both integers and the denominator q is not equal to zero. This means that the set of all real numbers are rational numbers.

Since q can be any integer apart from zero, it means that all integers are rational numbers i.e for q = 1.

Hence 2 which can be written as fraction as 2/1 is a rational number since the denominator (q = 1) is a non zero number
