Follow PEMDAS.
You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.
so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.
Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z
Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z
Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z
Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z
Now you have -18= 1z
Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.
So your final answer will be -18=z
Question- The image is appearing blank for me, could you try and re-send it or forward it to me. Thank you.
Answer:
a) E(y) = 0.8
b) The average subcharge is $165
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following distribution in the question:
y: 0 1 2 3
P(y): 0.50 0.25 0.20 0.05
a) E(y)

b) Expected value of subcharge
Subcharge =

Expected value of subcharge =

Thus, the average subcharge is $165
200 x 150 = 30,000 to purchase
200 x 175 = 35,000 when selling
35000 - 30000 is 5,000 capital gain
