We are given : A stock is represented by -5.90.

The given number is a negative number.

Note: When a stock is given by a negative number, it represents the decrease in stock and when a stock is given by a positive number, it represents the increase in stock.

As we are given number is a negative number, we can just say that

" The stock value is being decrease by 5.90".

Answer:

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

An 80% probability that a statistican is shy.

A 15% probability that an economist is shy.

At the gathering, a 90% probability that a person is an economist.

At the gathering, a 10% probability that a person is a statistican.

If you meet a shy person at random at the gathering. What is the probability that the person is a statistician?

This can be formulated as the following question:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

What is the probability that the person is a statistican, given that he is shy?

P(B) is the probability of the person being a statistican. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability of a statistican being shy, so P(A/B) = 0.8.

P(A) is the probability of a person being a shy. This is 15% of 90%(economists) and 80% of 10%(statisticans). So

$P(A) = 0.15*0.9 + 0.8*0.1 = 0.215$

Finally

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

$P = \frac{0.1*0.8}{0.215} = 0.3721$

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Answer: total net sales = $7950

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining total net sales is expressed as

total net sales = Gross sales - (sales returns + allowances + discount)

Gross sales means total sales.

From the information given,

Gross sales = $9000

Discounts = $900

Returns = $150

Allowances = 0(this is because it was not given)

Therefore,

total net sales = 9000 - (900 + 150)

= 9000 - 1050

total net sales = $7950

Find c1 and c2 such that M2+c1M+c2I2=0, where I2 is the identity 2×2 matrix and 0 is the zero matrix of appropriate dimension.

Katyanochek1 [597]

The question is missing parts. Here is the complete question.

Let M = $\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\-1&-4\end{array}\right]$ . Find $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ such that $M^{2}+c_{1}M+c_{2}I_{2}=0$ , where $I_{2}$ is the identity 2x2 matrix and 0 is the zero matrix of appropriate dimension.

Answer: $c_{1} = \frac{-16}{10}$

$c_{2}=\frac{-214}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation: Identity matrix is a sqaure matrix that has 1's along the main diagonal and 0 everywhere else. So, a 2x2 identity matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

$M^{2} = \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\-1&-4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\-1&-4\end{array}\right]$

$M^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}31&10\\-2&15\end{array}\right]$

Solving equation:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}31&10\\-2&15\end{array}\right]+c_{1}\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\-1&-4\end{array}\right] +c_{2}\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}0&0\\0&0\end{array}\right]$

Multiplying a matrix and a scalar results in all the terms of the matrix multiplied by the scalar. You can only add matrices of the same dimensions.

So, the equation is:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}31&10\\-2&15\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}6c_{1}&5c_{1}\\-1c_{1}&-4c_{1}\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}c_{2}&0\\0&c_{2}\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}0&0\\0&0\end{array}\right]$
