Step-by-step explanation:
(a) For real applications, the normal distribution has two potential drawbacks: (1) it can be negative, and (2) it isn’t symmetric. Choose some continuous random numeric outcomes of interest to you. Are either potential drawbacks really drawbacks for your random outcomes? If so, which is the more serious drawbacks and why?
(b) Many basketball players and fans believe strongly in the “hot hand.” That is, they believe that players tend to shoot in streaks, either makes or misses. If this is the case, why does the binomial distribution not apply, at least not exactly, to the number of makes in a given number of shots? Which assumption of the binomial model is violated, the independence of successive shots, or the constant probability of success on each shot? Or can you tell? Explain your reasoning.
(c) Your company needs to make an important decision that involves large monetary consequences. You have listed all of the possible outcomes and the monetary payoffs and costs from all outcomes and all potential decisions. You want to use the EMV criterion, but you realize that this requires probabilities and you see no way to find the required probabilities. What can you do?
(d) If your company makes a particular decision in the face of uncertainty, you estimate that it will either gain $10,000, gain $1000, or lose $5000, with probabilities 0.40, 0.30, and 0.30, respectively. You (correctly) calculate the EMV as $2800. However, you distrust the use of this EMV for decision-making purposes. After all, you reason that you will never receive $2800, you will receive $10,000, $1000, or lose $5000. Discuss this reasoning.
(e) In the previous question, suppose you have the option of receiving a check for $2700 instead of making the risky decision described. Would you make the risky decision, where you could lose $5000, or would you take the sure $2700? What would influence your decision?
(f) A potentially huge hurricane is forming in the Caribbean, and there is some chance that it might make a direct hit on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where you are in charge of emergency preparedness. You have made plans for evacuating everyone from the island, but duh n evacuation is obviously costly and upsetting for all involved, so the decision to evacuate shouldn’t be made lightly. Discuss how you make such a decision. Is EMV a relevant concept in this situation? How would you evaluate the consequences of uncertain outcomes?
(g) You often hear about the trade-off between risk and reward. Is this trade-off part of the decision making under uncertainty when the decision-maker uses the EMV criterion? For example, how does this work in investment decisions?
(h) Under what conditions would you prefer a simple exponential smoothing model to the moving averages method for forecasting a time series? Explain your reasoning!

$1000 is invested at 2.9% annual interest for 6 months.
a. Simple Interest b. Compound Interest
Answer:
a. Simple interest = $174
b. Compund interest = $1187.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Principal, P = $1000
Interest, R = 2.9%
Time, T = 6 months
a. To find the simple interest;
S.I = (PRT)/100
S.I = (1000*2.9*6)/100
S.I = 17400/100
S.I = $174
b. To find the compound interest;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}[/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] A = 1000(1 + \frac{2.9}{100})^{6}[/tex]
[tex] A = 1000(1 + 0.029)^{6} [/tex]
[tex] A = 1000(1.029)^{6} [/tex]
[tex] A = 1000(1.1871)[/tex]
A = $1187.1

Write down and simplify expression of the perimeter of the shape below.
Simplified Please !
Answer:
[tex]P = 4x+4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Required
Determine the perimeter (P)
This is calculated by adding the measure of the three sides.
So, we have:
[tex]P = 2x-3 + x + 5 +x + 2[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]P = 2x +x +x-3 + 5 + 2[/tex]
[tex]P = 4x+4[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]P = 4(x+1)[/tex]
Hence, the perimeter is 4x + 4 or 4(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:
A welcome mat in front of the hardware store is a half-circle. The straight side of the mat is 24 inches. What is the perimeter of the mat? Round to the nearest inch.
No links.
Answer:
To find the perimeter, we want to find the circumference of the whole circle, divide by 2, and add the 24 inches to get the total perimeter.
A semicircle is half a circle. If the straight edge of the semi circle is 24 inches, that makes the diameter of the full circle 24 inches as well.
To find the circumference of the full circle, we need the formula:
C = 2πr
Circumference = 2 x pi x radius
Radius is half of the diameter, so 12 inches.
C = 2 x pi x 12
C = 75.36 inches
75.36 is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 24 inches. Divide this by two to get 37.68 inches, which is the length of the round part of the mat. Adding 24 inches for the straight side gives you the final answer, 61.68 inches, or ABOUT 62 inches.

Explain how to use the area of a parallelogram to find the area of a triangle
!NO LINKS, NO FILES!
please :)
Answer:
If you draw a diagonal across the parallelogram from one vertex to the opposite vertex, you divide the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. Each triangle thus has 1/2 of the area of the parallelogram.

How many solutions dose x+y=10 x+y=12
Answer:
There are infinite solutions.
Think about it. The equation says essentially:
12 + any number = 12 + any number.
y + 12 = y + 10 + 2
y + 12 = y + 12
y - y = 12 - 12
0 = 12 - 12
0 = 0

9. Please help besties
Or user elpink25
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The method I used is elimination.
x - 2y = 1
-x - 4y = -7 To find y, we need to cancel the x by using it's opposite. This also affects the other numbers in the equation. This makes positive 4 into a negative and positive 7 into a negative.
Now we are left with, -2y = 1
-4y = -7
Add and you get, -6y = -6
Divide -6y/-6 = -6/-6
Our answer is, y = 1.
Hii!! Please help me out. To help me understand the answer just say exactly which part I'm putting the number in and stuff.
Answer:
y = 4;
y = 7;
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rule, y = x/2, find the missing values as shown below:
✔️For the first row, to find y, substitute x = 8 into y = x/2,
y = 8/2
y = 4
✔️For the second row, to find y, substitute x = 14 into y = x/2,
y = 14/2
y = 7
✔️For the third row, to find x, substitute y = 3 into y = x/2,
3 = x/2
3*2 = x
6 = x
x = 6

Answer:
15.) 104 ... I hope angles are not drawn to scale
16.) 144
17.) 37
Step-by-step explanation:
15.)
3x + 10 = 4x -12
22 = x
so 3x +10 = 76
180 - 76 = t = 104
16.)
2(21) + 36 + 90 + bcd + a = 360
a = 90 - 21 = 69
360 - (2(21) + 36 + 90 + 69) = bcd
bcd = 360 - 237 = 123
angle acd = 21 + bcd = 21 + 123 = 144
17.)
(5x - 7) + 90 + (3x + 1) = 180
8x -6 = 90
8x = 96
x = 12
so 5x - 7 = 53
90 - 53 = angle lmn = 37
Factor this trinomial.
x2 + x - 2
A. (x-2)(x - 1)
B. (x-2)(x + 1)
C. (x + 2)(x - 1)
D. (x + 2)(x+1)
SA
Answer:
factoring this trinomial of x2 + x - 2? i got you covered. it's good that this is a multiple choice question because you can work backwards. the answer is C because all you have to do is first multiply the 2 x's to make x to the power of two. then you multiply the first x with -1 to make -x. then you make 2x by multiplying the 2 with x and -2 by multiplying 2 by -1. then you combine the common factors.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 2)(x - 1)
(x)(x) = x2
2 x -1 = -2
x2 - x + 2x -2
x2 + x - 2

Mr. Jackson earns $1,500 each week and his wife earns $850 a week. Each week they need to set aside $200 for food, $75 for gas, $625 for the mortgage, and $350 for savings. How much money will they have left each week?
Answer:
$1,100
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Earnings of Mr Jackson is $1,500
Earnings of his wife is $850
They need to set aside the following amounts
For foods, it would be $200
For gas, it would be $75
For Mortgage it would be $625
ANd, for savings, it would be $350
We need to find out the amount of money that they have left each week
So, the amount would be
= $1,500 + $850 - $200 - $75 - $625 - $350
= $1,100
