$160

.20 * 200= 40

200-40=160

4 0

(original-new) / original = discount

(200-new)/200 = .20

multiply by 200 on both sides

200 - new=40

subtract 200 from each side

-new = -160

multiply by -1

new = 160

the selling price is $160

A broker has calculated the expected values of two different financial instruments X and Y. Suppose that E(x)= $100, E(y)=$90 SD
Sveta_85 [38]

Expectation is linear, meaning

E(<em>a X</em> + <em>b Y</em>) = E(<em>a X</em>) + E(<em>b Y</em>)

= <em>a </em>E(<em>X</em>) + <em>b</em> E(<em>Y</em>)

If <em>X</em> = 1 and <em>Y</em> = 0, we see that the expectation of a constant, E(<em>a</em>), is equal to the constant, <em>a</em>.

Use this property to compute the expectations:

E(<em>X</em> + 10) = E(<em>X</em>) + E(10) = $110

E(5<em>Y</em>) = 5 E(<em>Y</em>) = $450

E(<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) = E(<em>X</em>) + E(<em>Y</em>) = $190

Variance has a similar property:

V(<em>a X</em> + <em>b Y</em>) = V(<em>a X</em>) + V(<em>b Y</em>) + Cov(<em>X</em>, <em>Y</em>)

= <em>a</em>^2<em> </em>V(<em>X</em>) + <em>b</em>^2 V(<em>Y</em>) + Cov(<em>X</em>, <em>Y</em>)

where "Cov" denotes covariance, defined by

E[(<em>X</em> - E(<em>X</em>))(<em>Y</em> - E(<em>Y</em>))] = E(<em>X Y</em>) - E(<em>X</em>) E(<em>Y</em>)

Without knowing the expectation of <em>X Y</em>, we can't determine the covariance and thus variance of the expression <em>a X</em> + <em>b Y</em>.

However, if <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent, then E(<em>X Y</em>) = E(<em>X</em>) E(<em>Y</em>), which makes the covariance vanish, so that

V(<em>a X</em> + <em>b Y</em>) = <em>a</em>^2<em> </em>V(<em>X</em>) + <em>b</em>^2 V(<em>Y</em>)

and this is the assumption we have to make to find the standard deviations (which is the square root of the variance).

Also, variance is defined as

V(<em>X</em>) = E[(<em>X</em> - E(<em>X</em>))^2] = E(<em>X</em>^2) - E(<em>X</em>)^2

and it follows from this that, if <em>X</em> is a constant, say <em>a</em>, then

V(<em>a</em>) = E(<em>a</em>^2) - E(<em>a</em>)^2 = <em>a</em>^2 - <em>a</em>^2 = 0

Use this property, and the assumption of independence, to compute the variances, and hence the standard deviations:

V(<em>X</em> + 10) = V(<em>X</em>)  ==>  SD(<em>X</em> + 10) = SD(<em>X</em>) = $90

V(5<em>Y</em>) = 5^2 V(<em>Y</em>) = 25 V(<em>Y</em>)  ==>  SD(5<em>Y</em>) = 5 SD(<em>Y</em>) = $40

V(<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) = V(<em>X</em>) + V(<em>Y</em>)  ==>  SD(<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) = √[SD(<em>X</em>)^2 + SD(<em>Y</em>)^2] = √8164 ≈ $90.35

What is the value of the expression when a = 3 and b = 2?
aalyn [17]
3a³ + 2b³ = ?

Substitute for values:

3a³ + 2b³
a = 3
3 × 3³ + 2b³

b = 2
3a³ + 2 × 2³

Full question:

3 × 3³ + 2 × 2³

<span>3 × 3³ + 2 × 2³
</span>3 × 27 + 2 × 2³
3 × 27 + 2 × 8
81 + 16
97

The value of the expression 3a³ + 2b³ when a = 3 and b = 2 is 97.

<span>3 × 3³ + 2 × 2³ = 97</span>

Use the data consisting of IQ score and brain volume
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The best predicted IQ score is 103.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following regression equation:

y=100.2+0.00297x

where y is the predicted IQ score and x is the brain volume.

y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.

Significance level = 0.05

We have to find the best predicted IQ score with a brain volume of 998 cubic cm.

We put x = 998 in the equation.

y=100.2+0.00297(998)\\y=103.16406\\y\approx 103

Thus, the best predicted IQ score is 103.
