From past experience, a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a random variable with mean 67.8 and standard deviation of 6.5. (a.) How many students would have to take the examination to ensure, with probability at least 0.94, that the class average would be within 2.5 of 67.8?

16. From experience, a professor knows that the test score of students taking a final examination is a random variable with mean 65. A. Give an upper bound on the probability that a student's test score will exceed 75 B. Suppose in addition the professor knows that the variance of a student's test score is equal to 30. What can be said about the probability that a student will score between 55 and 75? C. How many students would have...

As every resident of Alaska knows, the real enemy in terms of the weather is not the near-zero temperatures, but the wind-chill factor. Meteorologists in Alaska and in many other states give both the temperature and the wind-chill factor. So important is the wind-chill factor that claim air at -40 Fahrenheit is less likely to cause frostbite than air just below freezing that is blowing at gale force. Basically, two factors determine the wind-chill factor: the velocity of wind and...

Geoff has been running a restaurant in the city for many years. He knows from experience that the proportion of customers that leave tips at this restaurant is 0.55. Geoff has recently opened a restaurant in a suburban area. It seems that tipping habits are different in the suburbs: Geoff believes that the proportion of customers that tip at his new restaurant (p) may be different to 0.55. He conducts a hypothesis test to find out. The null and alternative...

SOME DRAWBACKS OF BLACK-SCHOLES To provide one motivation for the development of ARCH models (next handout), we briefly discuss here some difficulties associated with the Black Scholes formula, which is widely used to calculate the price of an option. For example, consider a European call option for a stock. This is the right to buy a specific number of shares of a specific stock on a specific date in the future, at a specific price (the exercise price, also called...
