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 \%

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints G 9,8       and H 3,2      .
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

y = -x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is is given by:

y = mx + b; where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The equation of the line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2) is given as:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-8=\frac{2-8}{3-9}(x-9)\\\\y-8=x-9\\\\y=x-1

The perpendicular bisector of the line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2) is perpendicular to the line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2) and passes through the midpoint of line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2).

Let (x, y) be the midpoint of the line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2). Hence:

x = (9 + 3)/2 = 6

y = (8 + 2)/2 = 5

The midpoint = (6, 5)

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

The line joining G(9, 8) and H(3, 2) has a slope of 1, hence, the slope of the perpendicular bisector would be -1.

This means that the perpendicular bisector has a slope of -1 and passes through (6, 5). Using:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-5=-1(x-6)\\\\y-5=-x+6\\\\y=-x+11

The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = -x + 11

Find the standard form of the equation for the circle with the following properties.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(x+6)^2+(y+\frac{7}{6})^2=\frac{49}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that the center of the circle is at (-6, -7/6).

To find the equation of our circle that is tangent to the x-axis, we just need to find the vertical distance from our center to the x-axis.

Our center is at (-6, -7/6). The vertical distance from this to the x-axis directly above will be (-6, 0).

So, find our distance by subtracting our x-values:

d=r=0-(-7/6)

Subtract:

d=r=7/6

So, our distance, which is also our radius, will be 7/6.

Now, we can use the standard form for a circle, which is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

Substitute -6 for h, -7/6 for k, and 7/6 for r. This yields:

(x+6)^2+(y+\frac{7}{6})^2=\frac{49}{36}

We can confirm by graphing (using a calculator):
