Create different portfolios with weights (weightS&P, weightBond) where weightBond = 1 weightS&P. Let weightS&P equal 0%, 10%, 20%, 100%. Calculate the average return and the standard deviation for each of the eleven portfolios. Which of the following portfolio has the lowest risk (as measured by the standard deviation) ? The portfolio with 0% weight in the S&P500. The portfolio with 20% weight in the S&P500. The portfolio with 40% weight in the S&P500. The portfolio with 60% weight in the S&P500.
K A portfolio has 30% of its value in IBM shares and the rest in Microsoft (MSFT). The volatility of IBM and MSFT are 35% and 30%, respectively, and the correlation between IBM and MSFT is 0.4. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio? OA. 31.02% OB. 22.93% C. 26.97% OD. 29.67%
Rochester, New York, averagesµ = 21.9 inches of snow for the month of December. The distribution of snowfall amounts is approximately normal with a standard deviation of σ =6.5 This year, a local jewelry store is advertising a refund of 50% off of all purchases made in December, if Rochester finishes the month with more than 3 feet (36 inches) of total snowfall. What is the probability that the jewelry store will have to pay off on its promise?

A collection of medical scores is Normal with Mean of 50 and Standard Deviation of 10; that is N(50, 10). Bertha’s score is 47.56 and Biff’s score is 56.82. What is the probability that a randomly selected score will be greater that Bertha’s and less than Biff’s? Your answer should be correct to 4 places after the decimal point. ________________
Complete the table and answer the question. a. What is mean of the probability distribution? b. What is variance of the probability distribution? c. What is standard deviation of the probability distribution?
Accrotime is a manufacturer of watches. Accotime researchers have shown that watches hwe an average life of 28 months before certain electronic components deteriorate causing the watch to become unreliable. The standard deviation of watch lifetimes is 5 months and the distribution is noemal. If Accrotime guarantees a full refund of any defective watch for 1.5 years after the purchase, what percentage of total production will the company expect to replace? Write your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place. For the toolbar, Press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 OMCA) 0 WOAOS POWEASD BY TINY
A mechanic sells a brand of automobile tire that has a life expectancy that is normally distributed, with a mean life of 36,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2100 miles. He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately 10% of the tires? Click to view page 1 of the table. Click to view page 2 of the table. CHE Tires that wear out by miles will be replaced free of charge. (Round to the nearest mile as needed.)
Assume you have a normal distribution representing the likelihood of project completion times. The mean of this distribution is 14, and the standard deviation is 4. The probability of completing the project in 15 or fewer days is: a. 0.59 b. 0.27 c. 0.93 d. 0.75
Hellen has just started a new years competition for her local climbing gym. There are two categories for this competition: singles and group (18 people). The rules are simple, put in the most hours in one months time and you get a guided tour to climb Ten Sleep canyon. She knows from running this competition over the years that the number of hours climbers at her gym spend training during this competiton is approximately normal and their mean competition hours per month in the gym are 24 hrs with a standard devaition of 6 hrs If someone puts in between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall they get a Mountain Goat shirt. What percent of the singles competitors is expected to get a shirt? In the group stage this year the winning group was in the 81 th percentile. What was their average time? The group stage is up for getting Gecko Socks if they also land between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall on average. What prercent of the groups are expected to qualify for the socks?
