Homework Answers
P(the stock market declines) = 0.4
P(women's hemlines are lower) = 0.35
and P( the stock market declines and women's hemlines are lower) = 0.3
Since P( the stock market declines and women's hemlines are
lower) 
P(the stock market
declines) * P(women's hemlines are lower) (i..e 
)
So, we can say that the two events are not independent.
Add Answer to:
Suppose that, for any given year, the probabilities that the stock
market declines, that women's hemlines...

O PROBABILITY Probabilities involving two mutually exclusive events Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Suppose event A occurs with probability 0.03 and event B occurs with probability 0.02. a. Compute the probability that A does not occur or B does not occur (or both). b. Compute the probability that neither the event A nor the event B occurs. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) 6 2

XYZ stock is trading at $120 per share, and the company will not pay any dividends over the next year. Consider an XYZ European call option and a European put option, both having an exercise price of $124 and both maturing in exactly one year. The simple (annualized) interest rate for borrowing and lending between now and one year from now is 3% for each 6 month period (6.09% per year). Assume that there are no arbitrage opportunities. Is there...

For the given pair of events A and B, complete parts (a) and (b) below. A: When a baby is born, it is a boy. B: When a 19-sided die is rolled, the outcome is 4. a. Determine whether events A and B are independent or dependent. (If two events are technically dependent but can be treated as if they are independent according to the 5% guideline, consider them to be independent.) b. Find P(A and B), the probability that...
