Andy is a stock analyst who is evaluating mxc and bpp. on july 12, 2010, the price of mxc before the open was $44.20 per share, and it closed at $42.07 per share. the price of bpp before the open was $26.57 per share, and it closed at $23.43 per share. andy compare the performance of these two stocks on this day. (5 points: part i – 1 point; part ii – 1 point; part iii – 1 point; part iv – 1 point; part v – 1 point)

part i: by how many dollars per share was mxc down for the day?

part ii: by how many dollars per share was bpp down for the day?

part iii: what was the rate of change for mxc for the day? round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

part iv: what was the rate of change for bpp for the day? round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

part v: if andy is talking about dollars per share, which stock should he say was down more for the day? if he is talking about rate of change, which stock should he say was down more for the day?

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

5+2x=a

i think it will be zero as slope has a formula of difference between initial and final distance divided by itz time interval

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
