Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\begin{array}{c|ccc}&$Lose \$25&$Gain \$5&$Gain \$45\\$Stock ABC&40\%&15\%&45\%\end{array}\right

We want to calculate the expected gain or loss of Stock ABC with the probabilities above.

Note that loss is written in negative.

E$xpected Value =$ (-25  \times 40\%)+(5  \times 15\%) + (45  \times  45\%)\\=(-25 \times 0.4)+(5 \times 0.15)+(45 \times 0.45)\\=-10+0.75+20.25\\=\$11

Stock ABC has an expected gain of $11.

The angle measure of thre angle of a triangle are p, q and r. Angle measure of q is one third of p and r is the difference of p
alex41 [277]

In this question, i think we have to determine all the three angles of a triangle.

Since the three angles of a triangle are p,q and r.

Since, angle measure of q is one third of p, which implies

q=\frac{p}{3}

Angle measure of r is the difference of p and q, which implies

r=p-q (Equation 1)

By using the angle sum property of a triangle which states that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180^{\circ}

p+q+r=180^{\circ}

Substituting the value of r from Equation 1,

p+q+p-q=180^{\circ}

2p=180^{\circ}

p=90^{\circ}

Since q=\frac{p}{3}

q=\frac{90}{3} = 30^{\circ}

Since, r=p-q

r =90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}

Kathi and Robert Hawn had a pottery stand at the annual Skippack Craft Fair. They sold some of their pottery at the original pri
grigory [225]

Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of​ $9.50 for each​ piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27

A water tank leaks 5 gallons of water each day. What integer represents the change in the number of gallons of water in the tank
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

35 is the integer that represents the change in number of gallons of water in the tank after 7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The water tank leaks 5 gallons in one day.

So if there is leakage of 5 gallons a day, then after 7 days the total leakage will be:

Total Leakage = Leakage per day * Total number of days

= 5 Gal/day * 7 day

= 35 Gallons

So, 35 is the integer that represents the change in number of gallons of water in the tank after 7 days ..

For the wheat-yield distribution of Exercise 4.3.5, find
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a) 90.695 lb

b) 85.305 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 88, \sigma = 7

(a) The 65th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.65. So X when Z = 0.385.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}

X - 88 = 7*0.385

X = 90.695

(b) The 35th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.35. So X when Z = -0.385.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}

X - 88 = 7*(-0.385)

X = 85.305
