Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

30% chance that the company will lose $30000.

40% chance of a break even that there is no loss and no profit.

30% chance that the company will profit $ 60000.

As we know the formula for "Expectation":

So, Expected value will be

\frac{30}{100}\times (-30000)+\frac{40}{100}\times 0+\frac{30}{100}\times 60000\\\\=03\times (-30000)+0.4\times 0+0.3\times 60000\\\\=-9000+18000\\\\=\$9000

Expected value is $9000. So, the company should proceed with the project.

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.

A population analysist is using the formula Pn = 25.8(1.0219)h to predict the population for Ghana, a country in Africa. What do
Neko [114]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula :

Pn = 25.8(1.0219)^h to predict the population of Ghana ;

The equation given is in the form of an exponential function:

The general form of an exponential distribution :

y = ab^x

a = Initial value ; b = constant multiplier or growth or Decay factor

Comparing :

The number in parenthesis = 1.0219 = b

b = Decay or growth factor :

Since b > 1 ; then We have a growth factor;

b = 1 + rate

1.0219 = 1 + rate

Rate = 1.0219 - 1

Rate = 0.0219

Hence, the population is growing at a rate of about (0.0219)*100% = 2.19%

If cba represents three numbers multiplied together, what property allows you to rearrange the factors to read abc?

Commutative property of multiplication states that u can " commute " , move around the numbers and get the same result.
Example : 1 * 2 * 3 = 3 * 2 * 1...they still equal no matter what order u put them in.
