Part B:
Value of a portfolio invested 21
percent each in A and B and 58 percent in C is given by
For boom: 0.21(0.09) + 0.21(0.03) + 0.58(0.34) = 0.0189 + 0.0063 + 0.1972 = 0.2224 or 22.24%.
For bust: = 0.21(0.23) + 0.21(0.29) + 0.58(-0.14) = 0.0483 + 0.0609 - 0.0812 = 0.028 or 2.8%
Expected return = 0.66(0.2224) + 0.34(0.028) = 0.1468 + 0.00952 = 0.1563 or 15.63%
The variance is given by
What do you mean by that?
The way you work this out is by thinking about the odds of each singular event, then finding the overall odds based on the individual odds.
The number of different books Mrs. Reid can choose is 9, so the first number is 9.
Mrs. Reid has picked one book so far, so now she has (1 - 9) = 8 books to choose from.
The of different books Mrs. Reid can choose now is 8, so your second number is 8.
Mrs. Reid has picked 2 book thus far, so now there are (2 - 9) = 7 books to choose from.
The of different books Mrs. Reid can choose now is 7, so your second number is
7.
To get the total number of different choices, multiply all the singular events together:
<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream
Therefore,
Upstream distance = 165 km
Upstream time = 3 hours
<h3><u>Find upstream speed:</u></h3>
Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour
Downstream distance = 510 km
Downstream time = 6 hours
<h3><u>Find downstream speed:</u></h3>
Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour
<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then</u></em>
Speed downstream = u + v km/hr
Speed upstream = u - v km/hr
Therefore,
u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1
u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2
Solve both
Add them
u + v + u - v = 85 + 55
2u = 140
u = 70
<em><u>Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1</u></em>
70 + v = 85
v = 85 - 70
v = 15
Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr
