A study of the impact of executive networking on firm performance measured firm performance as annual return on equity​ (ROE), r

ecorded as a percentage. The mean ROE for the firms studied was 14.93​% and the standard deviation was 21.74​%. Assume that these values represent mu and sigma for the population ROE distribution and that this distribution is normal. What value of ROE will be exceeded by 78​% of the​ firms?

Answer:

The value of ROE that will be exceeded by 78​% of the firms is -1.77%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

In this problem, we have that:

The mean ROE for the firms studied was 14.93​% and the standard deviation was 21.74​%. This means that \mu = 0.1493, \sigma = 0.2174

What value of ROE will be exceeded by 78​% of the​ firms?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.78 = 0.22.

This is Z = -0.77

So:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.77 = \frac{X - 0.1493}{0.2174}

X - 0.1493 = -0.77*0.2174

X = -0.0177

The value of ROE that will be exceeded by 78​% of the firms is -1.77%.

A circle's radius is increased by 10%. By what percentage does its area increase
Vladimir79 [104]
Answer: 21%

Explanation: Let the radius of the circle =R therefore area of the circle = [pi][R * R]
Radius of the circle after 10% increase =R+10% of R=R+R/10=11R/10
Therefore AREA of the circle with radius 11R/10 =[pi][11R/10*11R/10]=[pi][121R*R/100] Hence INCREASE in the AREA of the circle=[pi][121R*R/100]-[pi][R*R] =[pi] [R*R][121/100-1] =[pi][R*R][121-100]/100=[pi][R*R][21]/100 THEREFORE % increase in the area of the circle=[pi][R*R][21/100]/[pi][R*R] whole multiplied by 100=21 HENCE increase in the area of the circle =21% NOTE : pi is a constant whose value=22/7

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to - of the length of a side on the base.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base. Which formula represents the volume of the pyramid?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<em><u>The formula represents the volume of the pyramid is:</u></em>

V=\frac{1}{6}s^3

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>The volume of square pyramid is given by formula:</u></em>

V = \frac{1}{3} a^2h

Where, "h" is the height of pyramid

"a" is the length of side of base

Here given that, pyramid has a square base with sides of length s

Therefore,

a = s

The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base

h = \frac{1}{2} \times s\\\\h = \frac{s}{2}

<em><u>Thus the volume of pyramid becomes:</u></em>

V = \frac{1}{3} \times s^2 \times \frac{s}{2}\\\\V = \frac{s^3}{6}

\boxed{V=\frac{1}{6}s^3}

Thus the  formula  represents the volume of the pyramid is \frac{s^3}{6}
