Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period  

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

Feeling "He who does the work of the King ought to be King," Pope Zacharias helped whom become King of the Franks in 751?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

(C) Pepin The Short

Explanation:

In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.

In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the <em>apparent</em> King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).

In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.

In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.

Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.

A store has two different coupons that customers can use. One coupon gives the customer $15 off their purchase, and the other co
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

16.25;

g(f(x)) ;

76 ;

f(g(x))

Explanation:

For 15 off

f(x) = x - 15

For 35% off

g(x) = (1 - 0.35)x = 0.65x

g(x) = 0.65x

A.)

For the $15 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(x) 40 - 15 = 25

For the 35% coupon :

g(x) = (1-0.35)x

g(x) = 0.65(25)

g(x) = 16.25

B.)

Applying $15 off first, then 35%

Here, g is a function of f(x)

g(f(x))

Here g(x) takes in the result of f(x) ;

For the $140 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(140) = 140 - 15 = 125

For the 35% coupon :

g(125) = (1-0.35)x

g(124) = 0.65(125) = $81.25

C.)

x = 140

g(x) = 0.65x

g(140) = 0.65(140)

g(140) = 91

f(x) = x - 15

f(91) = 91 - 15

f(91) = 76

D.)

Here, F is a function of g(x)

f(g(x))

f(x) = (0.65*140) - 15

What happens when you do not make a decision?
DENIUS [597]
Making decisions are always an important part. But failure in making decision may cause something unexpected. in most of the time a right decision at right time helps a lot... so for making a good decision one should follow some steps- like what are the good aspect if someone take this decision and what are the negative impact of this decision and if the probability of positiveness is more... than one should take that decision.. and if someone have confusion between what to do? and have to decide which decision to take among many ideas in mind  one should do the same steps but this time he/she should write them in a page for each decision a single page and than take the one which is prominent..
