13. Variance and Standard Deviation (expected). Using the data from problem 13‚ calculate the variance and standard deviation of the three investments‚ stock‚ corporate bond‚ and government bond. If the estimates for both the probabilities of the economy and the returns in each state of the economy are correct‚ which investment would you choose considering both risk and return? Why? ANSWER Variance of Stock = 0.10 x (0.25 – 0.033)2 + 0.15 x (0.12 – 0.033)2 + 0.50 x (0.04 – 0.033)2 + 0

A major television manufacturer has determined that its 19-inch color TV picture tubes have a mean service life that can be modeled by a normal distribution with a mean of six years and a standard deviation of one-half year. a. What probability can you assign to service lives of at least (1) Five years? (2) Six years? (3) Seven and one-half years? b. If the manufacturer offers service contracts

62.499 + (-0.347) x. This least squares line indicates that the estimated mean work-life balance score decreases by -0.347 average number of hours per week. Next‚ we have to interpret the random error component ( ) of the least squares line. The estimate of error standard deviation for this particular data set is 12.28455 which suggests that the work-life balance score (y) values should be two times of the standard deviation. This can be best expressed as in the equation of 2s = 2(12.28455) which

Inferences for One Population Standard Deviation The Standard deviation is a measure of the variation (or spread) of a data set. For a variable x‚ the standard deviation of all possible observations for the entire population is called the population standard deviation or standard deviation of the variable x. It is denoted σx or‚ when no confusion will arise‚ simply σ. Suppose that we want to obtain information about a population standard deviation. If the population is small‚ we can often determine

Part 1 of 1 - | Question 1 of 10 | 1.0 Points | Consider the following scenario in answering questions 1 through 4. Results from previous studies showed 79% of all high school seniors from a certain city plan to attend college after graduation. A random sample of 200 high school seniors from this city reveals that 162 plan to attend college. Does this indicate that the percentage has increased from that of previous studies? Test at the 5% level of significance. State the null and alternative

The mean was 10 g/mL‚ while the calculator’s results for the line of best fit showed that the density was 9.615736862 g/mL. This is not a large difference‚ but the calculated average is more accurate in comparison to the accepted value of the density of lead‚ or 11.343716 g/mL. The average absolute deviation‚ when done by hand‚ was .8 g/mL. Because
