Abasketball player with a poor foul-shot record practices intensively during the off-season. he tells the coach that he has raised his proficiency from 55% to 65%. dubious, the coach asks him to take 10 shots, and is surprised when the player hits 9 out of 10. complete parts a) through d) below. a) suppose the player really is no better than beforelong dashstill a 55% shooter. what's the probability he could hit at least 9 of 10 shots anyway? (hint: use a binomial model.)

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply. a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
