An investor has decided to form a portfolio by putting 55% of his money into Tesla's stock and 45% into Honda's stock. The investor assumes that the expected returns will be 18% on Tesla and 12% on Honda, and that the standard deviations will be 15% and 10%, respectively. What is the expected (mean) return on the portfolio? O E [Return on portfolio] = 0.135 O E [Return on portfolio] = 0.204 O E [Return on portfolio] = 0.153 O E [Return on portfolio] = 0.351

A Scenario: Jimmy store sells large tins of Tom Tucker Coffee. The deli uses a periodic review system. Inventory is checked every 10 days which more orders are needed for tins. Order lead time is 3 days. Average demand is 7 tins, so average demand during the reorder period and order lead time (13) is 91 tins. Standard deviation of demand during the same 13 day period is 17 tins.1. Calculate the restocking level ( Assume the desired level is 90%)2. Suppose standard deviation of demand during the 13-day period drops to 4 tins. What happened to restocking level? Explain why?3. Draw a saw-tooth diagram. Beginning inventory level is equal to restocking level and the demand rate is a constant 7 tins per day. What is the safety stock level? What is the average inventory level?

A standardized test is given to a sixth-grade class. Historically the mean score has been 151 with a standard deviation of 21. The superintendent believes that the standard deviation of performance may have recently decreased. She randomly sampled 23 students and found a mean of 161 with a standard deviation of 18.2898. Is there evidence that the standard deviation has decreased at the α=0.05 level? Step 1 of 5 : State of the hypotheses in terms of the standard deviation. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places when necessary Step 2 of 5 : Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5 : Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5 : Make the decision. Step 5 of 5 : What is the conclusion?
