Annual returns on stock of the Mean Corporation are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 13.9% and standard deviati

on of 4.9%. Joe Prudent is considering investing in the Mean Corporation. According to his investment strategy, he will only invest if the chance of an annual return of 11% or more is greater than 70%. In answering the following question, a)Calculate the corresponding standardized value (z) for an annual return of 11%. Give your answer to 2 decimal places. z = b)Therefore, according to his investment strategy, Joe: will invest in Mean Corporation will not invest in Mean Corporation is indifferent to investing in Mean Corporation

Answer:

(a) z=-0.59

(b) Joe will invest in Mean Corporation. The probability of getting an annual return grater than 11% is 72.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a normal distribution for the annual return of the stock.

This distribution has mean of 13.9% and s.d. of 4.9%.

If X=11%, we can calculate its corresponding z-value as:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{0.11-0.139}{0.049}= -0.5918

The z-value is z=-0.5918.

The probabilty of P(X>11%)=P(y>-0.5918) is, by the standarized normal distribution table, equal to 0.723.

As its P(y>-0.5918)=P(X>11%)=0.723 bigger than the 70% threshold, Joe will invest in Mean Corporation.

In a parallelogram if AB = 3x + 2y and AB = 30 what is the value of x and y
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
We can put the two equations together with substitution, and we get

3x + 2y = 30

Now we have a single equation in two variables, so we don't have enough information to solve for both x and y.

With Obesity on the rise, a Doctor wants to see if there is a linear relationship between the Age and Weight and estimating a pe
Romashka [77]

Answer:

112.569 ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the estimated Regression Equation

y = b1X1 + b2X2 + a

b1 = ((SPX1Y)*(SSX2)-(SPX1X2)*(SPX2Y)) / ((SSX1)*(SSX2)-(SPX1X2)*(SPX1X2)) = 596494.5/635355.88 = 0.93884

b2 = ((SPX2Y)*(SSX1)-(SPX1X2)*(SPX1Y)) / ((SSX1)*(SSX2)-(SPX1X2)*(SPX1X2)) = 196481.5/635355.88 = 0.30925

a = MY - b1MX1 - b2MX2 = 149.25 - (0.94*61.31) - (0.31*193.88) = 31.73252

y = 0.939X1 + 0.309X2 + 31.733

For x1 ( age ) =39, and  x2(weight) =143

y = (0.93884*39) + (0.30925*143) + 31.73252= 112.569

where

Sum of X1 = 981

Sum of X2 = 3102

Sum of Y = 2388

Mean X1 = 61.3125

Mean X2 = 193.875

Mean Y = 149.25

attached is the Tabular calculation of the required values needed for estimated regression equation
