Answer: $1,212,000 or $1.212 million

Explanation:

To calculate the dollars’ worth of the index the manager should sell in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position, we can use the following formula,

Dollar worth of index to sell = Value of the Portfolio * Portfolio Beta

Dollar worth of index to sell = 1,200,000 * 1.01

Dollar worth of index to sell = $1,212,000

The manager should sell $1,212,000 worth of the index in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position.

What is one of the three functions of the central vision area of a driver?
ruslelena [56]
Although the focus vision is the one responsible for the targeting function, it is the central vision that allows the viewing of the line of sight to the target area. It is the central vision that allows a relative focus for mid distances and blurring of what's around. It is important on a motorway, for example, as what's ahead is the most important once there isn't people or very busy areas around.

A publisher reports that 55% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that t
Dominik [7]

Based on the percentage of readers who own a particular make of the car and the random sample, we can infer that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.02 level to support the executive claim.

<h3>What is the evidence to support the executive's claim?</h3>

The hypothesis is:

Null hypothesis : P = 0.55

Alternate hypothesis : P ≠ 0.55

We then need to find the test statistic:

= (Probability found by marketing executive - Probability from publisher) / √( (Probability from publisher x (1 - Probability from publisher))/ number of people sampled

= (0.46 - 0.55) / √(( 0.55 x ( 1 - 0.55)) / 200

= -2.56

Using this z value as the test statistic, perform a two-tailed test to show:

= P( Z < -2.56) + P(Z > 2.56)

= 0.0052 + 0.0052

= 0.0104

The p-value is 0.0104 which is less than the significance level of 0.02. This means that we reject the null hypothesis.

The Marketing executive was correct.
