Answer:

a)  0.0358

b)  0.0395

c)  0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

<u>a) P(single contestant finds all three ) </u>

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30              

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

<em>considering second round </em>

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three )  = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

<u>B) P ( returning champion gets all three ) </u>

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

<u>c) P ( each player selects only one )</u>

P = 32/405 + 29/405

  = 61 / 405 = 0.1506

Nikitich [7]

The answer to the question is transferable skills. Transferable skills refer to <em>a group of skills that a person can use in a variety of occupations. </em>Its opposite is content skills, which refers to a group of skills that are commonly associated with a specific job-type.

Thus, since Becca mentions that her strengths are her thoroughness and close attention to detail, these strengths fall more into the category of transferable skills since she can use these skills in different occupations if she chooses to have a career change.

Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of existing
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$120

Explanation:

Given:

• Geometric growth rate of existing financial security:

$4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128

• Arithmetic growth rate of underlying assests:

$4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14

From the values, when the price of the underlying assests is $14, the price of the existing financial security is $128.

We are told to that when values of financial secrities increased from $4 to $128, that of underlying assests also increased from $4 to $14. If patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases. Therefore to get the value of financial securities decline if the value of underlying assests suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6, we have:

Price of underlying assests when decreased by $6 =

$14-$6 = $8.

Therefore, price of existing financial security decline wil be:

$128-$8 = $120

The Blue Nile Law Firm prepays for advertising in the local newspaper. On January​ 1, the law firm paid $ 15 comma 000 for twelv
Arada [10]

Answer:

a. Cash basis $15,000

b. Accrual basis $2,500

Explanation:

Under the cash basis of accounting, expenses are recorded or recognized in the books not necessarily when incurred but when cash is paid. This is not in line with the matching concept which requires that expenses be recognized the  period it is incurred as well as the resulting revenue.

Hence, the $15,000 paid on January 1  would have been recognized as an expense for the two months ending February 28 using the cash basis.

Using the accrual basis, monthly expense

= $15,000/12

= $1,250

Hence advertising expense for 2 months

= 2 * $1,250

= $2,500
