Answer:
a)0.7
b) 10.03
c) 0.0801
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of return Probability
9.5 0.1
9.8 0.2
10 0.3
10.2 0.3
10.6 0.1
a.
P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=P(R=10)+P(R=10.2)+P(R=10.6)
P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.3+0.3+0.1
P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.7
b)
Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))
Rate of return(x) Probability(p(x)) x*p(x)
9.5 0.1 0.95
9.8 0.2 1.96
10 0.3 3
10.2 0.3 3.06
10.6 0.1 1.06
Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))
Expected rate of return=0.95+1.96+3+3.06+1.06=10.03
c)
variance of the rate of return=V(x)=![sum(x^2p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=sum%28x%5E2p%28x%29%29-%5Bsum%28x%2Ap%28x%29%29%5D%5E2)
Rate of return(x) Probability(p(x)) x*p(x) x²*p(x)
9.5 0.1 0.95 9.025
9.8 0.2 1.96 19.208
10 0.3 3 30
10.2 0.3 3.06 31.212
10.6 0.1 1.06 11.236
sum[x²*p(x)]=9.025+19.208+30+31.212+11.236=100.681
variance of the rate of return=V(x)=sum(x²*p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]²
variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-(10.03)²
variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-100.6009
variance of the rate of return=V(x)=0.0801
ANSWER
No solution
EXPLANATION
The first equation is

and the second equation is

We equate the two equations to obtain;

This implies that


There is no real number whose square is -1.
Therefore, the equation has no solution.
Bill should put the brackets around 18-9 so the correct answer is option B. 10- 4 +3 x (18-9)
Answer:
x = -2.585
Step-by-step explanation:
You will have to plug this into your graphing calculator.
In y=, type 5(1/2)^x in the Y1 and type 30 in Y2.
When you hit 2nd trace and hit find intersections, you will get (-2.585, 30).
The answer is x = -2.585
Answer:
a = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
0.5(14a + 46) = - 11a - 42 + 5a ← distribute left side
7a + 23 = - 6a - 42 ( add 6a to both sides )
13a + 23 = - 42 ( subtract 23 from both sides )
13a = - 65 ( divide both sides by 13 )
a = - 5
