Between 1896—when the Dow Jones index was created— and 2012, the index rose in 65% of the years. Based on this information, and

assuming a binomial distribution, what do you think is the probability that the stock market will rise a) next year? b) the year after next? c) in four of the next five years? d) in none of the next five years? e) For this situation (modeling Dow Jones index), what assumption of the binomial distribution might not be valid? Are the years independent?

Answer:

a) P(x) = 0.67

b) P(y) = 0.67

c) P(x=4) = 0.3325

d) P( x = 0 ) = 0.0039

e) The dependence of stock market fluctuations on market sentiment compromises the assumption of independence utilized in the Binomial distribution; the years themselves are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The likelihood of the stock market rising in the next year is equal to P(x) = 0.67 assuming the following year is X.

B) The likelihood of an increase in the stock market the following year is P(y) = 0.67 due to independence from prior years

C) The likelihood of a rise in the stock market for four out of the next five years is P(x=4) = 0.3325

D) The likelihood of no increases occurring in the next five years is P(x = 0) = 0.0039

E) The link between market behavior and sentiment breaches independence in the Binomial distribution while the years remain independent.

Jenna works in an ice cream shop. When she starts her shift the tub of chocolate ice cream is 23 full. When she finishes her shi
tester [12383]

Answer:

Rate = 1.1/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start = 23

End = 16

Hours = 6\frac{1}{2}h

Required

Calculate the hourly rate

First, we will determine the amount of ice cream that was sold

Ice\ Cream = 23 - 16

Ice\ Cream = 7

Next, calculate the average hourly rate:

Rate = Ice\ Cream/Hours

Rate = 7/6\frac{1}{2}h

Rate = 7/\frac{13}{2}h

Rate = 7*\frac{2}{13h}

Rate = \frac{14}{13h}

Rate = 1.07692307692/hr

Rate = 1.1/hr -- Approximated

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply.
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

A. C. E. F.

Which correspond to 2, 3, 5, and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Within geometry, exterior angles are defined as those angles formed between any side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side, as demonstrated in the diagram.

Observing the figure, angles 2 and 3 arise from a side of the triangle and a line extended from the following side. Likewise, angles 5 and 6 are created similarly. Thus, these four angles are classified as exterior angles.

A. Given directed line segment MN with M(-6,-2) and N(3,1), find point P that partitions the segment into a ratio of 1:2. Explai
AnnZ [12381]

1. According to the definition, a specific point that splits a line segment into a ratio of a:b is indicated by the following x-coordinate:

x1+\frac{a}{a+b} (x2-x1)

And the y-coordinate:

y1+\frac{a}{a+b}(y2-y1)

2. Keeping this in mind, you have:

A) x-coordinate:

-6+(\frac{1}{1+2}) (3+6)=-3

y-coordinate:

-2+(\frac{1}{1+2} )(1+2)=-1

The answer is: P(-3,-1)

B) The x-coordinate is:

-1+(\frac{3}{3+1} )(3+1)=2

The y-coordinate is:

6+(\frac{3}{3+1} )(-2-6)=0

The answer is: L(2,0)

Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to two
lawyer [12517]
No, mixed numbers must include both a whole number and a fraction to qualify as such. If a fraction were present, it wouldn’t sum to two due to the presence of the 1's ❤️.
