Suppose a country's productivity last year was 84. if this country's productivity growth rate of 5 percent is to be maintained, this means that this year's productivity will have to be:

Rate of return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation personal finance problem mike is searching for a stock to include in his current stock portfolio. he is interested in hi-tech inc.; he has been impressed with the company's computer products and believes hi-tech is an innovative market player. however, mike realizes that any time you consider a technology stock, risk is a major concern. the rule he follows is to include only securities with a coefficient of variation of returns below 1.07. mike has obtained the following price information for the period 2015 through 2018:hi-tech stock, being growth-oriented, did not pay any dividends during these 4 years. a. calculate the rate of return for each year, 2015 through 2018, for hi-tech stock. b. assume that each year's return is equally probable and calculate the average return over this time period. c. calculate the standard deviation of returns over the past 4 years. (hint: treat this data as a sample.) d. based on b and c determine the coefficient of variation of returns for the security. e. given the calculation in d what should be mike's decision regarding the inclusion of hi-tech stock in his portfolio?

Scientists developed the first successful human cell culture in vitro (grown in a lab) in the 1950s by removing cancer cells from a woman. this concept has allowed modern scientists to successfully grow organs. which of the following answers  bestdetermines why there was success?   neurons send a signal to the cell to multiply. a large blood supply to the cell allows enough nutrients for growth. cells are the basic unit of life and thus can regenerate if in a controlled environment. cells cannot reproduce on their own, and the scientist manipulates them to grow.
