Cynthia’s broker charges her a commission of $88 for every $1000 of stock bought or sold. Cynthia bought 2,000 shares of Ombor M

edical Supplies at $35.49 apiece. As the price rose and fell, she sold off part of her holdings. When the price rose to $48.57, she sold 600 shares. The price fell somewhat to $46.10, so she sold 1,150 of her shares. When the price climbed to $53.46, she sold off the remainder of her holdings. How much profit did Cynthia make in total?

Answer:

$9889.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying 2000 shares at $35.49 apiece costs Cynthia

2000(35.49) = 70,980.

Her broker also charges her $88 for every $1000 bought or sold; she has bought

70980/1000 = 70.98, which means she pays

70.98(88) = 6246.24.

This gives her a total of

-70980-6246.24 = -77226.24.

Selling 600 shares at $48.57 each earns her back

600(48.57) = 29142. However, she still has to pay her broker;

29142/1000 = 29.142(88) = 2564.496 ≈ 2564.50.

This gives her a total of

-77226.24+29142-2564.50 = -50648.74

Selling 1150 shares at $46.10 each earns her back

1150(46.10) = 53015. However, she must still pay her broker:

53015/1000 = 53.015(88) = 4665.32.

This gives her a total of

-50648.74+53015-4665.32 = -2299.06.

She now has 2000-(600+1150) = 2000-(1750) = 250 shares left. Selling these at $53.46 each gives her

250(53.46) = 13365. Paying her broker,

13365/1000 = 13.365(88) = 1176.12

She has a total of

-2299.06+13365-1176.12 = 9889.82.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.2611

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Normal distribution:

Mean (m) length of time per call = 3.5 minutes

Standard deviation (sd) = 0.7 minutes

Probability that length of calls last between 3.5 and 4.0 minutes :

P(3.5 < x < 4):

Find z- score of 3.5:

z = (x - m) / sd

x = 3.5

z = (3.5 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0

x = 4

z = (4.0 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0.5 / 0.7 = 0.71

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714)

From the z - distribution table :

0 = 0.500

0.71 = very close to 0.7611

(0.7611 - 0.5000) = 0.2611

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714) = 0.2611

Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

A. (-6, 0)

B. (0, -6)

C. (0, 2)

D. (2, 0)

The graph of the question is attached.

Answer:

The point is (x, y) = (0, 2)

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, the points A and B are

$(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 4) \\\\(x_2, y_2) = (2,-8) \\\\$

The slope of the equation is given by

$m_1 = \frac{-8 - 4 }{2 -(-2)} \\\\ m_1 = \frac{-12 }{2+2} \\\\m_1 = \frac{-12 }{4} \\\\m_1 = -3 \\\\$

We know that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_2 = - \frac{1}{m_1}$

So the slope of the other line is

$m_2 = \frac{1 }{3} \\\\$

Now we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line AB and passes through the point C.

From the graph, the coordinates of point C are

$(x_1, y_1) = (6, 4)$

The point-slope form is given by,

$y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)$

Substitute the value of slope and the coordinates of point C

$y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (x - 6)\\\\$

To get the y-intercept, substitute x = 0

$y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (0 - 6) \\\\y - 4 = \frac{-6 }{3}\\\\y - 4 = -2\\\\y = 4 -2 \\\\y = 2 \\\\$

So, the point is

$(x, y) = (0, 2)$

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

A store manager records the total visitors and sales, in dollars, for 10 days. The data is shown in the scatter plot. What concl

pickupchik [31]

Answer:An increase in visitors is correlated with an increase in sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given scatter plot we can see that variables are positively correlated because they are moving in the same direction.

Since we know that the positive correlation is a relationship between two variables such that they increase or decrease together.

Since, the two variables given her is " number of visitors" and "Total sales"

Therefore, based on the given data it can be observed that "An increase in visitors is correlated with an increase in sales."
