In a random sample of sixteen different industries the percentage employment x in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and mean annual compensation y(in thousands of dollars) were recorded, with the following results. The scatter diagram showed a linear trend.

Please let me know if I calculated relative risk correctly. Thank you for your assistance.
17. A risk manager would like to simulate the price of a stock using the discretized GBM, where St+At = St + µS{At+√Ã£$£€ where μ and o denote, respectively, the stock annual mean return and annual volatility. The data suggest that the weekly mean return on the stock is 0.5% and the weekly volatility is 4%. Assuming a weekly time step of At = 1/52 (in terms of annual units), what is the appropriate estimate of μ? (a) = 26.4% (b) û = 30.16% (c) û = 4.5% (d) û = 17.94% 18. Suppose that the price of an asset obeys geometric Brownian motion (GBM) with an annual drift μ = 0.01 and an annual volatility of o= 0.25. If today's price is $100, what is the probability that the price two years from now will drop below $80? Hint: Recall that under GBM, the future price at T, i.e. ST, given today's spot price, St, is with TT-t and €~ = (a) 21.51% (b) 35.48% (c) 51.1% (d) 30.47% ST= St x exp (μ x exp [(μ-27 ) XT + √F X 0 Xe] N (0, 1).
Suppose that x and y are unknowns with ?(?)=E(X)= 11, var(?)=Var(X)=4, ?(?)=E(Y)= 7 and var(?)=Var(Y)= 100. In addition, suppose that the correlation coefficient of ?Xwith ?Yis .6. Then what is the expected value of xy?
3(ii) A bank sets up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for a CDO issue. The SPV wants to understand the risks that they may face, so they run simulations of the annual cash flows out of their portfolio. Selected results of the simulation are shown in the table below. Annual Portfolio Cash Flows Mean Std. Dev. Min. 5th 10th Percentiles 15th 85th 90th (1,172) 16,651 (7,760) (6,800) (4,880) (3,920) 2,480 95th Max. 14,320 15,280 26,400 The SPV wants to hold risk capital to cover its losses to the 95th percentile, and expected CDO payouts for the next five years add up to $100m. How much capital would you advise them to hold, and why?
