B^2 - 4ac > 0
2x^2 +7x -1 =0
b =7 a=2 c= -1
b^2 - 4ac = 7^2 - 4*2*(-1)
= 49 + 8
= 57

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average annual return is 13% and the standard deviation of its ret

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

There is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for proportions (<em>p</em>) is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The information provided is:

$\hat p = 0.13\\\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p}{n}} =0.21$

For 95% confidence level the critical value of <em>z</em> is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

The 95% confidence interval for average annual return is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.13\pm 1.96\times0.21\\=0.13\pm 0.4116\\=(-0.2816, 0.5416)\\\approx(-28\%, 54\%)$

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is -28%.

This implies that the portfolio would not loose more than 28% of its value.

Thus, there is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.

System of conics help

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Solutions are (6,3) and (-2,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first equation given we can write:

$(x-2)^{2} = 16-(y-3)^{2}\\$

substituting for $(x-2)^{2}$ in the second equation given we get

$\frac{16-(y-3)^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-3)^{2}}{64} = 1$

$\frac{-(y-3)^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-3)^{2}}{64} =0$

∴ y=3

Putting y=3 in the first equation we get

$(x-2)^{2} = 16$

x-2 = ±4

Hence x=6 or x=-2.
