Jean wants to invest a gift of $4,250 in the stock market. A broker suggests two companies, Solar Solutions (SOLR) and Frontline Medical (FLMD). He provides the probabilities for an annual return on
$4,250 based on their historical gains:
SOLR: 50% chance of $1,000 gain, 35% chance of $200 gain, 15% chance of $600 loss
FLMD: 80% chance of $750 gain, 20% chance of $100 loss
Which is the best analysis of these investments?​

step-by-step explanation:

b is the right answer

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
