List the following stocks and bonds in order from lowest default risk to highest default risk:

Bond in a stable foreign government
Preferred stock
Common stock

A. foreign government bond, common stock, preferred stock

B. foreign government bond, preferred stock, common stock

C. common stock, preferred stock, foreign government bond

D. preferred stock, common stock, foreign government bond

Answers

Answer 1

You have a government bond when a government bond issues a direct obligation.
Common and preferred stock both represent the ownership of a corporation, but preferred stockholders are paid before common stockholders, both in good and bad times.

Therefore, from least to highest default risk we have a bond in a stable foreign government, preferred stock and then, common stock.

Hence, the correct answer is B. foreign government bond, preferred stock, common stock.

2. The height of one square pyramid is 24 m. A similar pyramid has a height of 8 m. The volume of the larger pyramid is 648 m3. The surface area of the smaller pyramid is 124 m^2. Determine each of the following, showing all your work and reasoning: find the surface area of the larger pyramid

Answers

Volume of square pyramid = a²h / 3

Surface area of square pyramid = a² +2a √((a²/4) + h²)

a = base edge
h = height

for the large pyramid;
volume = 648 m³
height = 24 m

Volume = a²h / 3
648 m³ = a² x 24 m / 3
a² = 81 m²
a = 9 m

by applying surface area equation to the large pyramid,
surface area = a² +2a √((a²/4) + h²)
= 9² + 2 x 9 √((9² / 4 ) + 24²
= 520.53 m²

hence surface area of large pyramid = 520.53 m²

V = a²h / 3

V = a²h / 3648 * 3 / 24= a² a² = 81 a = 9
Area of square is 9 sq.m.

Area of the lateral sides of the larger pyramid:
a = 1/2 b*h
b = 9
h = sqrt (24^2 + 4.5^2)
h = 24.42
a = 1/2 (9 * 24.42) = 109.88

SURFACE AREA = 4 lateral sides area + base area
SURFACE AREA = 4 * 109.88 + 9*9 = 520.53

Answers

The answer is white. With there only being 4 and the rest having more.

By calculating the probability of choosing a counter at random, we find that we are least likely to choose a white counter as it has the least probability.

What is probability?

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen.

Probability of choosing a red counter = 6/25 = 0.24

Probability of choosing a white counter = 4/25 = 0.16

Probability of choosing a blue counter = 7/25 = 0.28

Solve the system of equations y = 40x2 and y = 19x + 3 algebraically.

Answers

Plug it in So you should get 19x+3=40x2 then solve for x

We have been given a system of nonlinear equations.

[tex]\\y=40x^{2},y=19x+3[/tex]

In order to solve this system we can first equate the two equations in order to get a quadratic in x.

[tex]\\40x^{2}=19x+3[/tex]

Our next step is to bring all the terms on one side.

[tex]\\40x^{2}-19x-3=0[/tex]

Now we have to solve this equation. We can solve it by factoring using the splitting middle term method.

[tex]\\40x^{2}-24x+5x-3=0[/tex]

[tex]\\8x(5x-3)+(5x-3)=0[/tex]

[tex]\\(8x+1)(5x-3)=0[/tex]

Upon setting each of these factors equal to zero using zero product property we get

[tex]\\8x+1=0 \text{ or } 5x-3 = 0[/tex]

Upon solving both these equations we get

[tex]\\x=-\frac{1}{8} \text{ or } x=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Now we can substitute these values of x in the equation

[tex]y=19x+3[/tex]

A sample of 16 from a population produced a mean of 85.4 and a standard deviation of 14.8. a sample of 18 from another population produced a mean of 74.9 and a standard deviation of 16.0. assume that the two populations are normally distributed and the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. the null hypothesis is that the two population means are equal, while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean of the first population is different than the mean of the second population. the significance level is 1%.

Answers

Solution: The test statistic under the null hypothesis is:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar{x_{1}}-\bar{x_{2}}}{s_{p}\sqrt{(\frac{1}{n_{1}})+(\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)s^{2}_{1}+(n_{2}-1)s^{2}_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2} }[/tex]

[tex]s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(16-1)14.8^{2}+(18-1)16^{2}}{16+18-2} }[/tex]

[tex]=15.45[/tex]

[tex]\therefore t=\frac{85.4-74.9}{15.45\sqrt{(\frac{1}{16})+(\frac{1}{18})}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{10.5}{5.31}[/tex]

[tex]=1.98[/tex]

Now, to find the critical values, we need to use the t distribution table at 0.01 significance level for [tex]df=n_{1} + n_{2} -2 = 16+18-2=32[/tex] and is given below:

[tex]t_{critical}=-2.738,2.738[/tex]

Since the t statistic is less than the t critical value, we therefore fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the two population means are equal.

Hope that helped;)

Answer:

the answer is 675

Step-by-step explanation:

1. there is a tank with 1000 gallons, and we have 65 cans with a capacity of 5 gallons, so if we multiply the 65 cans with the capacity we would have as result

65 x 5 = 325

2- already having the value of gallons used (325) we can subtract this difference to the 1000 gallons that were in the tank at first.

1000 - 325 = 675

A grocer stacks oranges in a four-sided pyramid that is 7 layers high. How many oranges are in the pile?

A.504 B.840 C.140 D.120

Answers

Answer:

Option C. 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Base of a pyramid which has four triangular sides is four sided.

If pyramid contains seven layers of oranges then the layer at the bottom will have 7 oranges.

Since base is a square then other side of the square base will have the same number of oranges = 7.

Therefore number of oranges at the first layer will be = 7×7

Similarly other layers above this layer will have the same sequence

6×6, 5×5, 4×4, 3×3, 2×2, 1×1

Therefore total number of oranges = 7×7 + 6×6 + 5×5 + 4×4 + 3×3 + 2×2 + 1×1 = 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 140

Option C. 140 is the answer.

A grocer stacks oranges in a four-sided pyramid that is 7 layers high. Many oranges are in the pile are C.140

Further explanation

The orange is the fruit of the citrus species Citrus and sinensis in the family Rutaceae, native to China. Orange is also called sweet orange, to distinguish it from the related Citrus and aurantium, referred to as bitter orange.

The proper name of four-sided pyramid is a "tetrahedron". The tetrahedron has the extra interesting property of having all four triangular sides congruent

1st Layer: The 1st layer contains only 1 orange so it has only 1 orange

2nd layer: The 2nd layer has total 4 oranges. Calculation: [tex]2*2=4[/tex]

3rd layer: The 3rd layer has total 9 oranges. Calculation: [tex]3 * 3 = 9[/tex]

4th Layer: The 4th layer has total 16 oranges. Calculation: [tex]4 * 4 = 16[/tex].

5th layer: The 5th layer has total 25 oranges. Calculation: [tex]5 * 5 = 25[/tex]

6th layer: The 6th layer has total 36 oranges. Calculation: [tex]6 * 6 = 36[/tex]

7th layer: The 7th layer has total 49 oranges. Calculation: [tex]7 * 7 = 49[/tex].

a quarterback for the seattle seahawks completes 54% of his passes. let the random variablle x be the number of passes completed in 20 attempts. conduct a stimulation of the 20 attempts using the following random digits. be sure to state how your assign your didgits

Answers

The complete question is:
"A quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks completes 54% of his passes. Let random variable X be the number of passes completed in 20 attempts. Conduct a simulation of the 200 attempts using the following random digits. Be sure to state how you assign your digits. 98726 10983 56239 42042 76520 68276 58239 48729 84912 87491

a) What proportions of passes were completed?

b) How does this compare with what “should have happened” theoretically?"

First, take 100 numbers, i.e. from 00 to 99, and set that the first 54% are completed passes, therefore from 00 to 53, and the remaining 46% are not completed passes, therefore from 54 to 99.

Now, divide the random digits until you compose 20 numbers: 98, 72, 61, 09, 83, 56, 23, 94, 20, 42, 76, 52, 06, 82, 76, 58, 23, 94, 87, 29.

Then, divide the numbers into the two set categories:

completed: 09, 23, 20, 42, 52, 06, 23, 94, 87 = 9 outcomes
not completed: 98, 72, 61, 83, 56, 94, 76, 82, 76, 58, 29 = 11 outcomes

A) Therefore, from the random digits you get 9/20 = 45% of completed passes and 11/20 = 55% of not completed passes.

B) Using the random digits, the simulation gave an outcome exactly opposite to what we expected.

cos θ - tan θ * cos θ = 0
cos θ - [tex] \frac{sin theta }{cos theta } [/tex] * cos θ = 0
cos θ - sin θ = 0
cos θ = sin θ
Now, divide both sides by cos θ, we get:
