Answer:

a) E(y) = 0.8

b) The average subcharge is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution in the question:

y:           0        1        2         3

P(y):   0.50   0.25   0.20   0.05

a) E(y)

E(y) = \displaystyle\sum y_iP(y_i)\\\\E(y) = 0(0.50)+1(0.25)+2(0.20)+3(0.05)\\E(y) = 0.8

b) Expected value of subcharge

Subcharge =

\$110y^2

Expected value of subcharge =

=110E(y^2)\\\\=110\displaystyle\sum y_i^2P(y_i)\\\\=110(0^2(0.50)+1^2(0.25)+2^2(0.20)+3^2(0.05))\\=110(1.5)=165

Thus, the average subcharge is $165

alex41 [277]
When Serena is 10, her mom is 3*10=30. Her mom is 20 years older than Serena.

If her mom's age divided by half is equal to Serena's, then she will be twice as old as Serena.

20 + 20 = 40
20 * 2 = 40

Serena will be 20, her mom will be 40.

A bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least ​$2 comma 500. He decides to make a
prisoha [69]

Answer:

To earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.

No, the poster cannot claim that "Open an account of ​$2 comma 500 and earn at least ​$10 interest in 1​ month!".

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least ​$2,500. He decides to make a poster advertising a simple interest rate of 3​%. We are asked to find the principal to advertise that one can earn ​$10 the first​ month.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

I=Prt, where,

I = Amount of interest,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

r=3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03

1 month will be equal to \frac{1}{12}.

\$10=P\cdot0.03\cdot \frac{1}{12}

\$10=0.0025P

\frac{\$10}{0.0025}=\frac{0.0025P}{0.0025}

P=\$4000

Therefore, to earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.

Now, we will check if an account of ​$2,500 can earn at least ​$10 interest in 1​ month.

I=\$2500\cdot 0.03\cdot \frac{1}{12}

I=\$6.25

Since the account earns an amount of $6.25 in one month, therefore, the poster is not true.
