Schach [20]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

$\$ 117.92$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use simple interest formula.

$I = P (1 + rt)$

$125 = P (1 + 0.06(1))$

$125 = P (1.06)$

$125/1.06=P$

$117.924528=P$

A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made. If

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The function is missing in the question. The function is $C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

The answer is 4930

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit cost of a car is given as

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

Cost will be minimum when

x = -(-544)/ 2 x 0.8

= 340

Therefore, minimum cost for unit car is

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

$= 0.8(340)^2 -544(340) +97410$

= 4930

Bond [772]

Question options:

A. He should report them directly on form 1040

B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D

C. He should report them on schedule D

D. He is not required to report them until he sells the underlying securities

Answer:

B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D

Explanation:

John has shares which have capital gains from a mutual fund and a brokerage account. In order to report his taxes, he would need to use the Schedule D(form 1040) for his mutual fund capital gains and the form 8949 for his brokerage capital gains. The brokerage capital gains is then transferred to schedule D.

The lifetime X (in hundreds of hours) of a certain type of vacuum tube has a Weibull distribution with parameters α = 2 and β =

stich3 [128]

I'm assuming $\alpha$ is the shape parameter and $\beta$ is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

a. The expectation is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

$\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt$

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

$u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x$

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ , so that $\mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy$ :

$E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy$

$\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}$

The variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

The second moment is

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Integrate by parts, taking

$u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ again to get

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9$

Then the variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2$

$\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}$

b. The probability that $X\le3$ is

$P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

$\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}$

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

$P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)$

and

$P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}$

Then

$\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}$
