Answer:
The less the correlation between two variables means the more different their output is.
A.) If Rachel wants to diversify her investment by investing on bonds that do not closely follow the returns on the bond. then she should invest in the stocks with low correlation with bonds. I.e: small cap stocks.
B.) Similarly, due to low correlation, small cap bonds will increase ( comparatively to large cap bonds) as the return on her bonds wil drop and vice versa.

Answer:
- rectangular prism: 288 ft³
- triangular prism: 72 ft³
- total: 360 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula ...
V = LWH . . . . . the product of length, width, height
This rectangular prism has a volume of ...
V = (12 ft)(6 ft)(4 ft) = 288 ft³ . . . . rectangular prism volume
__
The volume of a triangular prism is found from the formula ...
V = Bh
where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the height of the prism (distance between the triangular bases). The triangular base area is found from ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . .where b is the base of the triangle, and h is its height.
Here, we have ...
B = 1/2(6 ft)(4 ft) = 12 ft²
V = Bh = (12 ft²)(6 ft) = 72 ft³ . . . . triangular prism volume
__
The total volume of the given geometry is the sum of the volumes of the parts:
aquarium volume = 288 ft³ +72 ft³ = 360 ft³
Answer:
a) z* = -1.97
b) z* = -2.33
c) z* = -1.65
d) z* = 2.04
e) z* = 2.33
f) z* = -1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
a. P(z < z*) = 0.0244
We have to look at the ztable, and find z which has a pvalue of 0.0244. So it is z* = -1.97
b. P(z < z*) = 0.0098
We have to look at the ztable, and find z which has a pvalue of 0.0098. So it is z* = -2.33
c. P(z < z*) = 0.0496
We have to look at the ztable, and find z which has a pvalue of 0.0496. So it is z* = -1.65
d. P(z > z*) = 0.0204
We have to look at the ztable, and find z which has a pvalue of 1 - 0.0204 = 0.9796. So z* = 2.04
e. P(z > z*) = 0.0098
We have to look at the ztable, and find z which has a pvalue of 1 - 0.0098 = 0.9902. So z* = 2.33
(f) P(z > z* or z < -z*) = 0.201
This is z which has a pvalue of 0.201/2 = 0.1055. So it is z* = -1.25.
Answer: each boy had $2.5 left after buying his ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
Miguel and three of his friends went to the movies. They originally had a total of $40. If each boy had the same amount of money, it means that the amount that each boy( 4 boys in total) has is 40/4 = $10
Let x represent the amount of money that each boy had left after buying his ticket. If each boy spent $7.50 on a ticket, then the equation becomes
x + 7.5 = 10
Subtracting 7.5 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
x = 10 - 7.5 = 2.5
.26 as a fraction is 13/50
