In finance the notion of expected value is used to analyze investments for which the investor has an estimate of the chances ass

ociated with various returns (and losses). For example, suppose you have the following information about one of your investments: With a probability of 0.7, the investment will return 60 cents for every dollar you invest, and with a probability of 0.3, the investment will lose 20 cents for every dollar you invest. The expected rate of return for this investment is calculated the way we calculate the expected value of a game: Multiply the probability of each outcome by the amount you earn (or by minus the amount if you lose) and add up these numbers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected return is given as

Expected Return = SUM (Return i x Probability i). i=1,2,3.....

First investment

Probability of 0.7, it returns 60cents per dollars

Second investment

Probably of 0.3, it loses 20cents per dollar.

Expected return=(0.7×60)-(0.3×20)

Excepted return= 42-6

Excepted return=36cents

To dollars, 1cents is 0.01dollars

Then, 36cents = 0.36dollars

Expected return=$0.36

HELP PLEASE ITS DUE IN 10 MIN Use algebraic strategies to solve for x.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = 4, x ≠ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

√3x + 4 = x

(√3x + 4)² = x² (Square both sides to get rid of the radical.)

3x + 4 = x²

0 = x² - 3x - 4 (Set everything to 0 by moving everything to one side.)

0 = (x - 4)(x + 1) (Factor.)

x = 4   x = -1

Now we need to check for extraneous solutions:

√3(4) + 4 = 4

√12 + 4 = 4

√16 = 4

4 = 4

√3(-1) + 4 = -1

√-3 +4 = -1

√1 = -1

1 ≠ -1

-1 is an extraneous solution.

Nookie1986 [14]
First, convert those inches to feet. 
7in =ish 0.5833333
(you find this by dividing 7/12 on a calculator)
Now you just square 9.583333333
9.583333333^2
9.583333333 * 9.583333333
91.84027777ish
Rounded to the nearest foot, means the answer is 92ft.

Answer:

6.12

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 27≈0.51

Know that tan=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

0.51=\frac{x}{12}

Multiply 12 on both sides

6.12=x
