PROBLEM 1. [5 points] Value-at-Risk (VaR). The random variable Y measures the change in market value of a portfolio during a given time period. The variable Y is assumed to be normal with N(μ,02). (a) Calculate the VaR (Value-at-Risk) with confidence level 1-α, 0 < α < 1, (b) In particular, calculate VaR with confidence level 75% if Y N(0.2, 0.32)

1. Two normal random variables X and Y are jointly distributed with Var(X) 25 and Var(Y) 1600. It is known that P(Y>80| X = 50) 0.1 and P(Y 22 X 40) 0.7886 (1) What is the correlation coefficient between X and Y? (2) What is the expected value of Y given X 50?
1) Let X and Y be random variables. Show that Cov( X + Y, X-Y) Var(X)--Var(Y) without appealing to the general formulas for the covariance of the linear combinations of sets of random variables; use the basic identity Cov(Z1,22)-E[Z1Z2]- E[Z1 E[Z2, valid for any two random variables, and the properties of the expected value 2) Let X be the normal random variable with zero mean and standard deviation Let ?(t) be the distribution function of the standard normal random variable....

Suppose that X is a standard normal random variable with mean 0 and variance 1 and that we know how to generate X. Explain how you would generate Y from a normal density with mean μ and variance σ"? That is, given that we already generated a random variate X from N(0,1), how would you convert X into Y so that Y follows N (μ, σ 2)?
