Let's say

a = 215,658

ok... so.. he first lost 1/3 of that

\bf \textit{\underline{lost} }\frac{1}{3}a\qquad  \qquad  a-\cfrac{1}{3}a\implies a-\cfrac{a}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a-a}{3}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{then he \underline{gained} }\frac{1}{2}\textit{ of }\frac{2a}{3}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{2}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{\frac{2}{1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{6}\implies \cfrac{4a+2a}{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{6a}{6}\implies \boxed{a}\implies 215,658


so, his nickname might just be even steven, because, he ended up with the same original amount after the 1/2 bump.

A portfolio has average return of 13.2 percent and standard deviation of returns of 18.9 percent. Assuming that the portfolioi's
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

B. 0.835

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the z-scores and the standard normal distribution to calculate this probability.

We have a normal distribution for the portfolio return, with mean 13.2 and standard deviation 18.9.

We have to calculate the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1.

Then, the z-scores for X=-43.5 and 32.1 are:

z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{(-43.5)-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{-56.7}{18.9}=-3\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{32.1-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{18.9}{18.9}=1\\\\\\

Then, the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1 is:

P(-43.5

The SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are
spayn [35]

Answer:

In this example it seems that "a" is a fixed value that is added to adjust the scale value. . It seems that "b" is a factor that adjust the value of the ACT score as a predictor for success in the chosen field of study.

Step-by-step explanation: The scores from the SAT and ACT are not in the same format as GPA. So the scale needs adjustment. Also the tests measure different knowledge and skills. They may be more or less reliable as predictors of success in a given field of study, so the "b" factor would change for different majors.
