In a large group of stocks, 57% earn a return above the risk free rate, 71% are included in the S&P 500, and 32% both earn a return above the risk free rate and are included in the S&P 500.
a) What is the probability a stock is neither included in the S&P 500 nor earns a return above the risk free rate?
P(R) = .57
P(S) = .71
P(R ‘and’ S) = .32
*Do I just use the Complement Rule and then the Union Rule since I see the words “neither” and “nor”? So my work will go like this:
P(R^c) = 1 – P(R) –> 1 – .57 = .43
P(S^c) = 1 – P(S) –> 1 – .71 = .29
Now Union Rule:
So P(R U S) = P(R) + P(S) – P(R ‘and’ S) –> .43 + .29 – .32 = .4
b) Are the events of a stock being included in the S&P 500 and earning a return above the risk free independent?
*Do I just multiply P(R) x P(S) and check if the product matches P(R ‘and S)? So .57 x .71 = .4047… .4047 does not equal .32 so they are not independent.
Thanks for the help!

May 18th, 2012
I’m trying to see if I can start selling art online…I need cash…it probably won’t work…I should at least try:P Whether it’s ebay, amazon, or any other website, how does the shipping work? Do you have to actually mail it to the person? So shipping is included in the price? Does the website (ebay, amaon) somehow take care of it? I want to understand it all before I go and sign up

How Is Demo And Live Forex Account Different To Each Other?
May 18th, 2012
Hi, basically the title says everything.
It’s just that I have read a few articles that mention that live forex accounts are different to demo accounts so please could someone explain how and why are they different? I mean if the prices are the same, they are moving the same, why the result is different? It just makes no sense.
Cheers
