A student makes the following observation: "The Dow Jones Industrial Average currently has a value of 13,500, while the S&P 500 has a value of 1,500. Therefore, the prices of the stocks in the DJIA are nine times as high as the price of the stocks in the S&P 500." Is the student's observation correct

No, these indexes are averages of stock prices and indicate the overall performance of the stock market.

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

Dow Jones industrial average = $13,500

S&P 500 Industrial average = $1,500

Prices of stock in the DIJA are not nine times as high as the price of stocks in the S&P 500, the indexes displayed are only used as a measure of performance obtained from large companies listed on the United States stock exchange market. The measurement of the Dow Jones industrial average takes 30 large companies into cognizance while the S&P 500 averages stocks from 500 large companies.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
