A financial manageress for a company is considering two competing investment proposals. For each of these proposals, she has car

ried out an analysis in which she has determined various net profit figures and has assigned subjective probabilities to the realization of these returns. For proposal A, her analysis shows net profits of GHȼ 20,000.00, GHȼ 30,000.00 or GHȼ 50,000.00 with respective probabilities 0.2, 0.4 and 0.4. For proposal B, she concludes that there is a 50% chance of successful investment, estimated as producing net profits of GHȼ 100,000.00, and of an unsuccessful investment, estimated as a break – even situation involving GHȼ 0.00 of net profit. Assuming that each proposal requires the same Ghana cedi investment, which of the two proposals is preferable solely from the standpoint of expected monetary return?

Answer:

Project B is preferable solely from the standpoint of expected monetary return.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculations of Expected Returns:

Project A:

Net Profits             Probability          Expected Returns:

GHȼ 20,000.00    0.2                      GHȼ 4,000

GHȼ 30,000.00    0.4                      GHȼ 12,000

GHȼ 50,000.00    0.4                      GHȼ 20,000

Total Expected Returns                   GHȼ 36,000

Project B:

Net Profits             Probability          Expected Returns:

GHȼ 100,000         0.5                      GHȼ 50,000

GHȼ 0.00               0.5                      GHȼ 0.00

Total Expected Returns                   GHȼ 50,000

Expected Returns are the returns or income which have been weighed with their probabilities of occurrence.  It is used to determine the best outcome given events that have different probabilities of occurring.   It is an important measure of returns which helps in deciding the best investment option to pursue.

A television game show has 11 ​doors, of which the contestant must pick 3. Behind 3 of the doors are expensive​ cars, and behind
bezimeni [28]

For there to be 1 car, we consider two possible outcomes:

The first door opened has a car or the second door opened has a car.

P(1 car) = 2/6 x 4/5 + 4/6 x 2/5

P(1 car) = 8/15

For there to be no car in either door

P(no car) = 4/6 x 3/5

P(no car) = 2/5

Probability of at least one car is the sum of the probability of one car and probability of two cars:

P(2 cars) = 2/6 x 1/5

= 1/15

P(1 car) + P(2 cars) = 8/15 + 1/15

= 3/5

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

The mathematics department of a college has 7 male​ professors, 6 female​ professors, 12 male teaching​ assistants, and 7 female
Natalka [10]

Answer:

0.78125 or 78.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

Male professors = 7

Female professors = 6

Male T.A. = 12

Female T.A. = 7

Number of people in the department = 32

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is given by the probability that the person is a professor added to the probability that the person is a male, minus the probability that the person is a male professor:

P( P\ or\ M) = P(P) +P(M) - P(P\ and\ M)\\P( P\ or\ M) =\frac{7+6}{32}+ \frac{7+12}{32}- \frac{7}{32} \\P( P\ or\ M) = 0.78125 = 78.125\%

The probability is 0.78125 or 78.125%
