c) A firm is considering an investment that will earn a 6% rate of return. If it were to borrow the money, it would have to pay

8% interest on the loan, but it currently has the cash, so it will not need to borrow. Should the firm make the investment? Show your work.

no the firm will not do the investment. because if the firm borrows the money & invest it in the project then the return will be 6% but the cost is 8%. so it will lose 2%.  

it also should not invest his own money on the project to get get the 6% return. because he could have loan the money to someone else & get 8% return. therefore his opportunity cost of investing the money is greater than the return.

therefore he should not make the investment .

A teacher was interested in knowing the amount of physical activity that his students were engaged in daily. He randomly sampled
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we don't know the standard deviation of the population, we can estimate the standard error of the mean from the standard deviation of the sample as:

\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The sample is [30mins, 40 mins, 60 mins, 80 mins, 20 mins, 85 mins]. The size of the sample is n=6.

The mean of the sample is:

\bar{x}=\frac{1}n} \sum x_i =\frac{30+40+60+80+20+85}{6}=52.5

The standard deviation of the sample is calculated as:

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\bar x)^2} \\\\ s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot ((30-52.5)^2+(40-52.5)^2+(60-52.5)^2+(80-52.5)^2+(20-52.5)^2+(85-52.5)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5} *3587.5}=\sqrt{717.5}=26.8

Then, we can calculate the standard error of the mean as:

\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{26.8}{6}= 4.5

Ted and Meg have each drawn a line on the scatter plot shown below:
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A.)Line P, because it is closest to most data points

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is a line which best represents the data and the data points are closely related to it.

It is also known as a trend line.

The line of best fit may pass through, some , none or all of the data points.

Also if the scatter plot does not pass through all the data point then the magnitude of positive residual must be approximately equal to the magnitude of negative residual of the data points.

Hence, by looking at the scatter plot we see that all the data points lie above Line R.

Hence, the Line R will not be a line of best fit.

But all the data points lie close to the line P , hence it act as a line of best fit.

Can anyone help me with dis
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:

Step 1 - x_2-x_1=change_.in_.x

Step 2 - y_2-y_1=Change_.in_.y

Step 3 - \frac{Change_. in_. y}{Change_.in_.x}=slope

So lets start by doing step one.

All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:

6-5=1

So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.

Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:

-1-(-3) = 2

So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.

Now lets plug this into:

\frac{Change_. in_. y}{Change_.in_.x}=slope:

\frac{2}{1}  = 2

So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.

Hope this helps!

Hunter had seven gallons of water in the refrigerator. Of those, two and one-fourth gallons were spring water and one and one-fi
Crank

Answer:

3 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gallons of water=7

Spring water=two and one-fourth gallon=2 1/4

Filtered water=one and one-fifth

=1 1/5

Spring water+filtered water=2 1/4 + 1 1/5

=9/4+6/5

= 45+24/20

=69/20

=3 9/20

How many gallons of water were not spring or filtered

=Total gallons- (spring+ filtered water)

=7-69/20

=140-69/20

=71/20

=3 11/20
