Answer:

The stock price beyond which 0.05 of the distribution fall is $12.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of $8.52 with a standard deviation of $2.38

This means that \mu = 8.52, \sigma = 2.38

The stock price beyond which 0.05 of the distribution fall is

This is the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 8.52}{2.38}

X - 8.52 = 1.645*2.38

X = 12.44

The stock price beyond which 0.05 of the distribution fall is $12.44.

Consider the tangent line to the curve y = 6 sin(x) at the point (π/6, 3). (a) Find a unit vector that is parallel to the tangen
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

y=\frac{\pi }{6}+5.196(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the equation y = 6 sin (x)

On differentiating both side \frac{dy}{dx}=m=6cosx

As it passes through the point (\frac{\pi }{6},3)

So \frac{dy}{dx}=6cos\frac{\pi }{6}=5.196

Now the unit vector is parallel to the tangent so m will be 5.196

This passes through the point (\frac{\pi }{6},3)

So unit vector will be y-\frac{\pi }{6}=5.196(x-3)

y=\frac{\pi }{6}+5.196(x-3)

Joseph typed a 1200- word essay in 25 minutes.at this rate,determine how many words he can type in 45 minutes.
Deffense [45]
First you divide 1200 by 25 (1200/25) it comes out to 48. 
That means the he types at a rate of 48wpm. So then all you have to do is multiply 48 and 45 and you get 2160 words.

Explain (1+y)^2 how does it turn into 1+2y+y^2 ? i don't understand
Greeley [361]
I will show you the steps on how you get that answer and if you have any questions after that let me know and I'd be more than happy to help answer them for you.
The first step for solving (1 + y)² is to use the equation (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand the expression.
1² + 2 × 1y + y²
1 raised to any power equals 1,, so remove the power.
1 + 2 × 1y + y²
Calculate the product of 2 × 1y.
1 + 2y + y²
Finally,, use the commutative property to reorder the terms.
y² + 2y + 1
Let me know if you have any further questions.
