g If the economy improves, a certain stock stock will have a return of 23.4 percent. If the economy declines, the stock will hav

e a loss of 11.9 percent. The probability of the economy improving is 67 percent while the probability of a recession is 33 percent. What is the standard deviation of the returns on the stock

Answer:

E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2

And replacing we got:

Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105

And finally the deviation would be:

Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable of interest X as the return from a stock and we know the following conditions:

X_1 = 23.4 , P(X_1) =0.67 represent the result if the economy improves

X_2 = -11.9 , P(X_1) =0.33 represent the result if we have a recession

We want to find the standard deviation for the returns on the stock. We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And replacing the data given we got:

E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2

And replacing we got:

Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105

And finally the deviation would be:

Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%

WARNING : NON SENSE ANSWER REPORT TO MODERATOR ​

Answer:

\frac{180}{147}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Simplify (\frac{3}{-7} - \frac{11}{21} )

=> \frac{(-3 \times 3) - 11}{21}

=> \frac{-9 - 11}{21}

=> \frac{-20}{21}

  • Find the additive inverse of  \frac{-20}{21} by using its property - <em>"Sum of a number & its additive inverse is always zero". </em>Assume that 'x' is an additive inverse of  \frac{-20}{21}.

=> x + \frac{-20}{21} = 0

=> x = 0 - (-\frac{20}{21}) = \frac{20}{21}

  • Simplify (\frac{9}{5} \div \frac{7}{5} )

=> \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{1}{\frac{7}{5} }

=> \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{5}{7}

=> \frac{9}{7}

  • Now, find the product of \frac{9}{7} & \frac{20}{21}

=> \frac{9}{7} \times \frac{20}{21}

=> \frac{180}{147}
