Answer: 0.001731

Explanation:

To solve the variance, we have to calculate the mean first. This will be the addition of the sticks given which is then divided by 5. This will be:

= (0.084 + 0.087 + 0.032 + 0.015 + 0.115) / 5

= 0.0666

We then calculate the variance as shown below:

Variance = [(0.084 - 0.0666)² + (0.087 - 0.0666)² + (0.032 - 0.0666)² + (0.015 - 0.0666)² + (0.115 - 0.0666)²] / 5 - 1

= [0.000303 + 0.000416 + 0.001197 + 0.002663 + 0.002343] / 4

Variance = 0.001731

If two projects (investments) A and B are said to be mutually exclusive then we know that the firm ______________. can choose to
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

must choose to invest in either A or B, but not both.

Explanation:

The whole concept of being mutually exclusive is that you must choose only one alternative investment. You can either choose to invest in A or B, but you cannot invest in both A and B, or first invest in A (or B) and then in the other one.

Generally investment projects are mutually exclusive due to budgetary constraints, i.e. you do not have enough money to invest in all of them, so you must choose the most profitable one considering the associated risks and capital costs.
