Concept explainers
You’re given the option of investing $10,000 in one of three mutual funds. A prominent market analyst posts the following estimates of performance for the three funds. The Hetrick Fund: 40% chance of a 35% gain; 40% chance of a 30% loss; 20% chance of breaking even. The Abercrombie Fund: 80% chance of breaking even; 12% chance of an 18% gain; 8% chance of a 9% loss. The Goldberg Fund: 25% chance of a 90% gain; 25% chance of a 5% gain; 40% chance of breaking even; 10% chance of losing everything. Answer parts (a) and (b) without doing any calculations.
(a) If your primary objective is to shoot for the largest possible return without regard to risk, which would you be likely to choose?
(b) If your primary objective is the least risk of losing big, which would you be likely to choose?
(c) Find the expected value for each fund. With these choices, who would be most likely to be successful: a timid investor or an aggressive one?

- Find the Banzhaf power distribution of the weighted voting system[26: 19, 15, 11, 6]Give each player's power as a fraction or decimal value P1 = P2 = P3 = P4 =arrow_forwardsolve it using augmented matrix. Also it is homeworkarrow_forward4. Now we'll look at a nonhomogeneous example. The general form for these is y' + p(x)y = f(x). For this problem, we will find solutions of the equation +2xy= xe (a) Identify p(x) and f(x) in the equation above. p(x) = f(x) = (b) The complementary equation is y' + p(x)y = 0. Write the complementary equation. (c) Find a solution for the complementary equation. We'll call this solution y₁. (You only need one particular solution, so you can let k = 0 here.) Y1 = (d) Check that y₁ satisfies the complementary equation, in other words, that y₁+ p(x)y₁ = 0.arrow_forward
