Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normal distribution with mean = $830 and standard deviation = $1,781.
This means that [tex]\mu = 830, \sigma = 1781[/tex]
(a) What is the probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 0, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0 - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex] has a p-value 0.321.
0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.
(b) Assuming the returns on successive days are independent of each other, what is the probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row?
Each day, 0.3206 probability, so:
[tex](0.321)^2 = 0.103[/tex]
0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.
(c) Give the boundaries of the interval containing the middle 80% of daily returns
Between the 50 - (80/2) = 10th percentile and the 50 + (80/2) = 90th percentile.
10th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = -1.28*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = -1449.68[/tex]
90th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = 1.28*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = 3109.68[/tex]
So
(-$1449.68, $3109.68)
d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus?
The 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = 2.054*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = 4488.174 [/tex]
A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.

5
If the family has three pets, what is the theoretical probability that they have three dogs or
three cats?
How could you change the simulation to generate data for three pets
6
let dogs be heads. Let cats be tails. A coin has two sides, in which you are flipping two of them. Note that there can be the possible outcomes
h-h, h-t, t-h, t-t.
How this affects the possibility of two dogs & two cats. Note that there are 1/2 a chance of getting those two (with the others being one of each), which means that out of 4 chances, 2 are allowed.
2/4 = 1/2
50% is your answer
Heads represents cats and tails represents dogs. There is two coins because we are checking the probability of two pets. You have to do the experiment to get your set of data, once you get your set of data, you will be able to divide it into the probability for cats or dogs. To change the simulation to generate data for 3 pets, simply add a new coin and category for the new pet.
Hope this helps you out!

A Food Marketing Institute found that 34% of households spend more than $125 a week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 124 households is selected from the population. What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31
Answer:
0.2405 = 24.05% probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Assume the population proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 124 households is selected from the population.
This means that [tex]p = 0.34, n = 124[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.34[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.34*0.66}{124}} = 0.0425[/tex]
What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.31, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.31 - 0.34}{0.0425}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.705[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.705[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2405.
0.2405 = 24.05% probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31.

A graph shows the solution to f(x) = g(x) is x = 1.
__
We want to solve ...
g(x) -f(x) = 0
x^3 +2x^2 -x -2 -(-11/3x +11/3) = 0
x^2(x +2) -1(x +2) +11/3(x -1) = 0 . . . . . factor first terms by grouping
(x^2 -1)(x +2) +11/3(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . the difference of squares can be factored
(x -1)(x +1)(x +2) +(x -1)(11/3) = 0 . . . . we see (x-1) is a common factor
(x -1)(x^2 +3x +2 +11/3) = 0
The zero product rule tells us this will be true when x-1 = 0, or x = 1.
__
The discriminant of the quadratic factor is ...
b^2 -4ac = 3^2 -4(1)(17/3) = 9 -68/3 = -41/3
This is less than zero, so any other solutions are complex.

A box contains 16 large marbles and 18 small marbles. Each marble is either green or white. 9 of the large marbles are green, and 3 of the small marbles are white. If a marble is randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that it is small or green
Answer:
[tex]P(S&G) =0.7941[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Sample size [tex]n=16+18=>34[/tex]
N0 of Large [tex]L=16[/tex]
N0 of Small [tex]S=18[/tex]
N0 large Green [tex]L_g=9[/tex]
N0 of small White [tex]S_w=3[/tex]
Therefore
Number of green marbles [tex]N0(G)=9+(18-3)[/tex]
Number of green marbles [tex]N0(G)=24[/tex]
Generally the Number of both small and green Marble is
[tex]N0 of (S&G)= 18 - 3 = 15[/tex]
Generally the probability that it is small or green P(S&G) is mathematically given by
[tex]P(S&G) = \frac{(18 + 24 - 15)}{(18 + 16)}[/tex]
[tex]P(S&G) =0.7941[/tex]

Additional comment
I find the wording of the question a bit ambiguous. To transform ΔABC to ΔXYZ, every linear dimension of ΔABC is multiplied by 1/4. This is the sense of "ΔABC to ΔXYZ" that is used in the above answer.
On the other hand, one of the ways ratios are written is using the word "to," as in "12 to 3". Using this idea, we might interpret the question to be asking for ...
ΔABC to ΔXYZ = AC to XZ = 12 to 3 = 12/3 = 4

One of the problems encountered by corporations in America is finding an adequate number of employees who want to move into management. Recent surveys of workers in America taken by the Department of Labor in Washington D. C. revealed that only 20% of employees would like to move into management and be the boss. Suppose that a random sample of 75 U.S. workers was taken and each person was asked whether or not they would like to move into management. Find the probability that at least 18 of the 75 sampled employees would like to move into management.
Answer:
0.2358 = 23.58% probability that at least 18 of the 75 sampled employees would like to move into management.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
20% of employees would like to move into management and be the boss.
This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]
Sample of 75:
This means that [tex]n = 75[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 75(0.2) = 15[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{75*0.2*0.8} = 3.4641[/tex]
Find the probability that at least 18 of the 75 sampled employees would like to move into management.
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 18 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 17.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of X = 17.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{17.5 - 15}{3.4641}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.72[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.72[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7642.
1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358
0.2358 = 23.58% probability that at least 18 of the 75 sampled employees would like to move into management.

Write the equation of the piecewise function that is represented by its graph.
IS IT A, B, C, OR D
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a) domain bounds are -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, x > 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In considering the definition of any piecewise function, the domain descriptions in the function definition must match the pieces shown in the graph.
Here, the right segment has no upper bound, so x > 1 is an appropriate description of its domain.
The left segment has the points at x=-1 and x=1 included, so the appropriate domain description for that is -1 ≤ x ≤ 1.
The one answer choice that combines these domain descriptions is ...

Answer:
13.5% is the increase in percentage
Answer:
74%
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the answer, divide 800 by 1080, and you will get a decimal. That decimal is 0.74074074074. Then, move the decimal point two times two the right, so you should have 074.074074074. Ignore everything after the decimal point as well as the 0 before the decimal point, and if done correctly, it should be 74%.
So, the final answer would be 74%.

The population, P(t), in millions, of a country, in year t, is given by the formula P(t) = 24 + 0.4t. What are the values of the population for t = 10, 20,
and 30?
Answer:
B. 28, 32, 36 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
Where,
P(t) = population in millions
t = number of years
✔️Value of the population when t = 10:
Plug in t = 10 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(10)
P(t) = 24 + 4
P(t) = 28 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 20:
Plug in t = 20 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(20)
P(t) = 24 + 8
P(t) = 32 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 30:
Plug in t = 30 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(30)
P(t) = 24 + 12
P(t) = 36 million
