“the probability of event b, given that event a has occurred” is known as a __________ probability.

1 answer:

6 0

The probability of event B given that event A has already occurred is known as a CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY.
Conditional probability is written mathematically as: P[B/A], where P stands for probability.
Event A and B can be dependent or independent and this will have effect on the general formula of conditional probability, that is, the formula will change in form depending on the relationship between the two events.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: d) Cannot sue Bob for misrepresentation

Explanation: A misrepresentation is a false statement made from one person to another that a certain fact is true or accurate when it is indeed false. The fact that the value of the stock I bought on Bob's opinion does not give me the right to sue him for misrepresentation (intentional). The reason is this, Bob's expression of his opinion concerning the HotNet stock does not usually constitute a misrepresentation even when it turns out that his opinion is incorrect. It wasn't intended, however, he could be sued for negligent misrepresentation.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The main advantage of a compound interest account is that the interest that you earn also earns interest, so the total amount of earned interest increases.

For example, a $10,000 account earning simple interest at a 4% rate will earn $4,000 in ten years. While the same amount in a compound interest account will earn $4,802.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: c. interest rate falls; investment rises

Explanation:

The Fed buying treasury securities from banks is an expansionary policy when the government wants to increase the money in circulation and increase economic growth.

When the Fed buys Treasury securities from banks, this will lead to availability of funds as prices will be pushed higher and there will be a reduction in the interest rate.

Since there is reduction in interest rate, investment will increase as investors will borrow from banks.

Final Finishing is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives for a new polisher. Each alternative has an expected life o

valkas [14]

Answer:

1. 18.09%

2. 12%

3. 20.02%

Explanation:

As the MARR is 15%, we will accept projects which have IRR more than 15%. As the projects are mutually exclusive, we will choose only one project.

An IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the rate which makes the NPV (Net Present Value) = ZERO.

The formula to calculate IRR is: 0 = P0 + P1/(1+IRR) + P2/(1+IRR)2 + P3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Pn/(1+IRR)n where P0 = Initial cash outflow

And P1, . . . Pn equals the cash inflows in periods 1, 2, . . . n, respectively.

1) IRR of project 1:

0 = -$20,000 + $4,465/(1+IRR)1 + $4,465/(1+IRR)2 + $4,465/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $4,465/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 18.09%

2) IRR of project 2:

0 = -$10,000 + $1,770/(1+IRR)1 + $1,770/(1+IRR)2 + $1,770/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $1,770/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 12%

3) IRR of project 3:

0 = -$15,000 + $3,580/(1+IRR)1 + $3,580/(1+IRR)2 + $3,580/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $3,580/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 20.02%

We will choose project 3 as it has the highest IRR.
