Drawing tree diagrams. After taking a course on statistics, 88% of students can successfully construct tree diagrams. Of those w

ho can construct tree diagrams, 90% passed, while only 60% of those students who could not construct tree diagrams passed. a) Construct a tree diagram of this scenario. ? You can do it electronically using e.g. PowerPoint, or draw freehand and scan the image. b) Calculate the probability that a student is able to construct a tree diagram if it is known that he or she passed.

Answer:

A. Check the image

B. The probability that a student is able to construct a tree diagram if it is known that he or she passed is 79.2%

Explanation:

a) A tree diagram is a tool that simplifies the distribution of probabilities. So we start making branches (lines) according to the probability of each succes to happen, so in this case we first divide the tree diagram between those who can construct tree diagrams that represent the 88% so it means it has a probability of 0.88 and those who can't construct tree diagrams, so if 88% can  just 12% can't construct tree diagrams that is a probability of 0.12.  This is the first part of the tree diagram.

After that tere is another condition that is passing so for those who construct it is the 90% (0.9 probability) for passing, so in this group it is just 10% (0.1 probability) that doesn't pass. Now for those who don't construct tree diagrams, 60% (0.6 probability) pass so 40% losses (0.4)

See in the diagram that if you add the numbers that compound each of the vertices the result is a 100% or 1.0 probability, this is what you have to take into account when you are constructing a tree diagram.

b) For calculating a probability after constructing the tree diagram you just need to multiply each of the factor in which you are interested. In this case:

Construct tree diagram X Pass = 0.88 x 0.9 = 0.792

So the probability for a student that can construct a tree diagram to pass is 0.792, now for having in percentage we just need to multiply by 100% then:

0.792 x 100 = 79.2%

A company wishes to hedge its exposure to a new fuel whose price changes have a 0.6 correlation with gasoline futures price chan
Anton [14]

Answer:

0.9; 100 million; 90 million; 2,143

Explanation:

The new fuel's price change has a standard deviation that is 50% greater than price changes in gasoline futures prices.

So, if standard deviation of future prices is taken as '1' then for spot price it will be 50% higher, i.e 1.5

The hedge ratio:

= Correlation × (standard deviation of spot price ÷ Standard deviation of future prices)

= 0.6 × (1.5 ÷ 1)

= 0.9

The company has an exposure of 100 million gallons of the new fuel.

Gallons in future gasoline:

= Hedge ratio × 100 million gallons of the new fuel

= 0.9 × 100

= 90 million

Each contract is on 42,000 gallons, then

Number of gasoline futures contracts should be traded:

= 90,000,000 ÷ 42,000

= 2,142.9 or 2,143

Which of the following line items would appear on the income statement of a company that uses the periodic inventory​ system, bu
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

C) Cost of Goods Available for Sale

Explanation:

Cos of goods available for sale appears in income statement made under periodic Inventory system but it does not in the income statement made under perpetual inventory system. In per periodic system COGS is calculated by adjusting purchases, allowances for purchases, freight and all other cost to cost of goods available for sale. By deducting closing inventory we calculate the COGS. On other hand in perpetual system purchases are added in the opening and purchase return and closing inventory deducted to reach at COGS.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option A Preparing a purchase order

Explanation:

Because the reason is that the purchase order preparation is the assignment of the procurement department and is not associated with the holding of the inventory. Whereas obsolescence and skrinkage are the decrease in the value of the inventory which is because of not selling the product before the decrease and are part of cost of holding inventory.
