Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.2 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014). d. Write an equation that represents the linear model for streaming videos. Let S = the total sales of streaming videos in billions of dollars, and t = the number of years after 2009. e. In what year do the models predict streaming video sales to exceed DVD sales?

An fruit grower knows from previous experience and careful data analysis that if the fruit on a specific kind of tree is harvested at this time of year, each tree will yield, on average, 127 pounds, and will sell for $4.6 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 2.1 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.07.   A) How many weeks should the grower wait before harvesting the apples in order to maximize the sales revenue per tree? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a week.)   Answer: __________ (rounded to the nearest tenth)   B) Use your answer in part A to find the actual maximum revenue that can be expected. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)   Answer: ____________ dollars (rounded to the nearest dollar)

In a certain year, it was estimated that 1,000,000 of the 307,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. (HIV is the virus that is believed to cause AIDS.) The Repeatedly Reactive Immunoassay (RRIA) diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presence of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIV.(b) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative does not have HIV.(c) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive does not have HIV.(d) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative actually has HIV.(e) Which of the probabilities would you be interested in if you or someone close to you tested positive? the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIVthe probability that a person whose test results are negative does not…

At the end of​ 2009, right after the great recession of​ 2008-2009, business partners Mario and Luigi sold their plumbing business and retired. Each of them received​ $1,000,000 net from the sale. Mario holds an undergaduate business degree and understands​ risk, return, and divesification. He decides to invest his​ 1M$ in SPY ETF​ (essentially a stock that tracks the​ S&P 500 index​ performance). Luigi comes from a low income family and could not afford to go to college. He​ doesn't understand finance and he fears​ risk, so he decides to put his money in a bank savings account. The average​ S&P500 annual return from 2010 to 2019 has been​ 11.3%, the average annual return on a standard savings account has been​ 0.1% over the last 10 years. What is the difference in FV value​ (end of​ 2019) between Mario and Luigi investment​ holdings?
