A risky stock sells for $10 per share. With probability 0.3, the stock will be worth 3 times as much in two years. With probability 0.7, the stock will be worth 1/10 as much in two years. Suppose you buy 10 shares of the stock and then sell the stock in two years. Let N be the random variable denoting your net gain in dollars. What is the expected value of N

Answers

Answer 1

The expected value of the net gain from selling the stock in 2 years is $-3.

What is the net gain?

The net gain is the total profit from selling the stock less the total cost of buying the stock

Total cost of buying the stock = 10 x $10 = $-100

Expected selling price = (0.3 x $100 x 3) + (0.7 x$100 x 1/10) += $97

Net gain = $97 - $100= $-3

findin the measure of each angle (3x-13)° 5x -47

Answers

The measure of each angle is 43.25 and 46.75

How to determine the measure of each angle?

The attached image represents the missing piece in the question.

From the image, we can see that:

3x - 13 + 5x - 47 = 90 ---- complementary angles

Evaluate the like terms

8x = 150

Divide by 8

x = 18.75

Substitute x = 18.75 in the given angles

3x-13 = 3 * 18,75 - 13 = 43.25

5x -47 = 5 * 18.75 - 47 = 46.75

Hence, the measure of each angle is 43.25 and 46.75

A bag contains hair ribbons for a spirit rally. The bag contains 8 black ribbons and 12 green ribbons. Lila selects a ribbon at random, then Jessica selects a ribbon at random from the remaining ribbons. What is the probability that both Lila and Jessica select a black ribbon? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \dfrac{14}{95}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Black ribbons = 8 ribbons

Green ribbons = 12 ribbons

Total ribbons: 12 + 8 = 20 ribbons

[tex]\sf Probability = \dfrac{Favorable \ Outcomes}{Total \ Possible \ Outcomes}[/tex]

For Lila:

sally was given a standard deck of 52 cards she randomly chose 3 cards from the deck replacing the card befor each time. what is the probability of choosing an ace, a queen, and a six?

Answers

Since Sally replaces the card after each draw, there are 52 choices for each card that can be drawn.

In a standard deck of cards, there are 4 aces. Then the probability of drawing an ace is 4/52 = 1/13. The same reasoning applies to drawing a queen or a six. Then the probability of drawing an ace, queen, and six (in that particular order) is 1/13³.

But Sally can also draw these 3 specific cards in any order to end up with the same hand. There are 3! = 6 ways of doing so:

AQ6, A6Q, QA6, Q6A, 6AQ, 6QA

That is, 3 choices for the first card; 2 choices for the second; and 1 for the third, so a total of 3 • 2 • 1 = 3! = 6 hands.

Then the probability of getting a hand consisting of an ace, queen, and six is

3! • 1/13³ = 6/2197 ≈ 0.002731

What is the relative frequency table?

The relative frequency measures how often a value appears relative to the sum of the total values. The class width is 10. The class width is the difference between the upper and lower boundary (e.g. 100 - 90).

Frequency is the number of times the numbers in the class interval appear in the data set. Relative frequency is the frequency of a class interval divided by the total frequency of the data set.
