If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Umaima has probability \dfrac{1}{7} 7 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss.

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will
iragen [17]

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

What is the standard deviation of the market portfolio if the standard deviation of a fully diversified portfolio with a beta of
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

22.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the standard deviation for market portfolio = σₙ

Also let the standard deviation for fully diversified portfolio = σₓ

<u>To calculate fully diversified portfolio</u>

fully diversified portfolio has <em>σₓ = βσₙ</em>

From the given question beta (β) = 1.25

Also standard deviation for market portfolio (σₙ)  = 18% = 0.18

<em>From the equation above,  σₓ = βσₙ </em>= 1.25×0.18 = 0.225

                                                             = 22.5% (converting to percentage)

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?
Novosadov [1.4K]
So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
