Suppose the probability that oil prices will rise any given quarter is 0.51, and the probability that oil prices will stay level or decline is 0.49. If oil prices rise, GNP will contract by 1% with 80% probability, and expand by 0.5% with 20% probability. If oil prices decline or stay level, GNP will expand 3% with a 75% probability and contract 0.5% with a 25% probability. What is the expected change in GNP in the next quarter?
Answer(s): A
We need the total probability rule for expected value, for which the formula is E(X) = E(X | S_1) * P(S_1) + E(X | S_2) * P(S_2) + ... + E(X |S_n) * P(S_n). Here, E(X) is the expected change in GNP. S_1 is the event that oil prices rise, and S_2 is the event that oil prices fall. Therefore, E(X) = 0.51 * (- 1%*80% + 0.5%*20%) + 0.49 * (3%*75% - 0.5%*25%) = 0.68%, an expansion.
If you already have $500 in a savings account, how much must you deposit 4 years from now in order to have $5,000 in 8 years, assuming the account earns interest at 10% per year, compounded annually?
Answer(s): C
The way to approach this question is to find the PV today of the $5,000 amount, determine the difference between this PV and the existing $500 amount in the account, and then move this difference out to the 4 year from now point. On the BAII Plus, press 8 N, 10 I/Y, 0 PMT, 5000 FV, CPT PV. Then press + 500 =. Then press PV, 4 N, CPT FV to see the answer. On the HP12C, press 8 n, 10 i, 0 PMT, 5000 FV, PV. Then press 500 +.Then press PV, 4 n, FV to see the answer. Make sure the BAII Plus has the P/Y value set to 1.
The joint probability of events A and B occurring equals 0.11. The probability of neither A nor B occurring equals 0.64. If P(A) equals 0.24, the probability of B occurring equals ________.
Answer(s): D
We are given that P(neither A nor B) = 0.64, P(A and B) = 0.11 and P(A) = 0.24. The probability of neither A nor B occurring equals one minus the probability of either A or B occurring i.e. P(neither A nor B) = 1 - P(A or B).Thus, P(A or B) = 1 - P(neither A nor B) = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36.Now, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)Therefore, P(B) = P(A or B) - P(A) + P(A and B) = 0.36 - 0.24 + 0.11 = 0.23.
Which of the following is/are true?
Answer(s): E
By definition, there are as many values above the median as below it. Each sample has a unique median. (II) and (III) hold for the mean, not for the median.
If you deposit $150 a month, beginning next month, for 20 years into an account paying 6% per year, compounded monthly, how much is in your account after the last deposit?
On the BAII Plus, press 240 N, 6 divide 12 = I/Y, 0 PV, 150 PMT, CPT FV. On the HP12C, press 240 n, 6 ENTER 12 divide i, 0 PV, 150 PMT, FV. On the BAII Plus, make sure the value of P/Y is set to 1. Note that the answer is displayed as a negative number.

took the test last week, i did have about 15 - 20 word for word from this site on the test. (only was able to cram 600 of the questions from this site so maybe more were there i didnt review) had 4 labs, bgp, lacp, vrf with tunnels and actually had to skip a lab due to time. lots of automation syntax questions.

nice questions bring out the best in you.
really helpful
question #50 and question #81 are exactly the same questions, azure site recovery provides________for virtual machines. the first says that it is fault tolerance is the answer and second says disater recovery. from my research, it says it should be disaster recovery. can anybody explain to me why? thank you
iam thankful for these exam dumps questions, i would not have passed without this exam dumps.
some of the answers seem to be inaccurate. q10 for example shouldnt it be an m custom column?
are the question real or fake?
thank you for providing such assistance.
nice questions
my 3rd purcahse from this site. these exam dumps are helpful. very helpful.
found it good
excellent material
very helpfull
well explained.
i need the pdf, please.
a good source for exam preparation
i need ielts general training audio guide questions
please make this content available
content is good
latest dumps please
aside from pdf the test engine software is helpful. the interface is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and find the questions.
questions and options are correct, but the answers are wrong sometimes. so please check twice or refer some other platform for the right answer
90% of questions was there but i failed the exam, i marked the answers as per the guide but looks like they are not accurate , if not i would have passed the exam given that i saw about 45 of 50 questions from dump
answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.
password lockout being the correct answer for question 37 does not make sense. it should be geofencing.
for question 4, the righr answer is :recover automatically from failures
question number 4s answer is 3, option c. i
very good questions
i am confused about the answers to the questions. are the answers correct?
very usefull
need certification.
great exam prep
