Mathematics

Answer:

The expected value is $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the expected value

Mathematically, what we have to do here is to multiply each of the probabilities by the pay out value, before we proceed to add up

We have this as;

0(0.5) + 0.2(5) + 0.15(8) + 10(0.1) + 15(0.05)

= 0 + 1 + 1.2 + 1 + 0.75 = 3.95

Do bonds reduce the overall risk of an investment portfolio? Let x be a random variable representing annual percent return for t

Answer:

COV (all stocks) = 0.55

COV (stocks and bonds) = 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient of Variation is used to measure variability.

It is defined as the ration of standard deviation and the mean.

It can be used to compare variability of two population or two samples.

Formula:

$\text{Coefficient of Variation} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Standard Deviation}}{\text{Mean}}$

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

x: 14, 0, 39, 25, 32, 27, 28, 14, 14, 15

$Mean = \frac{208}{10} = 20.8$

$Standard~Deviation = \sqrt{\frac{1169.6}{9} } = 11.39$

$Coefficient~of~Variation = \frac{11.39}{20.8} = 0.55$

y = 6, 2, 29, 17, 26, 17, 17, 2, 3, 5

$Mean = \frac{124}{10} = 12.4$

$Standard~Deviation = \sqrt{\frac{924.4}{9} } = 10.13$

$Coefficient~of~Variation = \frac{10.13}{12.4} = 0.82%$

Since coefficient of variation of x is less compared to y, thus it could be said bonds does not reduce overall risk of an investment portfolio.

Divisibility rules for 2, 5, and 10

Simora [160]

Answer:

none of these

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit of the number is 0. The numbers 20, 40, 50, 170, and 990 are all divisible by 10 because their last digit is zero, 0.
