You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?

42% and 12%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Alpha Fund

Positive return = 60%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.60

= 40%

For Omega Fund

 Positive return = 70%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.70

= 0.30

Also the returns are non-dependent

Now the positive return is

= 60% × 70

= 42%

And, the probability of lose money is

= 40% × 30%

= 12%

Hey there!

The proper answer to this question is "is a United States federal law that is used to help fund state workforce agencies".

Reason:

Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) is a federal law that helps fund workforce agencies so if a business doesn't have any workers on payroll they use FUTA to pay them.

Therefore the answer is to help fund state workforce agencies.
