A broker is studying the price movements of various stocks gn the market and is particularly interested in a company called MERALCO. He has observed that if this stock goes up on a given day, then the next day it has 50:50 chance of going up again, a 1 chance of staying the same price, and a chance of going w/ down. If the stock stays the same on a given day, then it is equally likely to go up, stay the same, or go down the next day. If the stock goes down on a given day, then the next day it has a 50:50 chance of going down again, a - chance of staying the same price, and a s chance of going up. What proportion of the time (in the long run) does the stock go up, stay the same and go down? 3

An option to buy a stock is priced at $210. If the stock closes above 30 on May 15, the option will be worth $900. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30 (inclusively), the option will be worth $180. A trader thinks there is a 45% chance that the stock will close in the 20–30 range, a 25% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20 on May 15. How much do they expect to gain? Should they buy the stock option? Explain.

A machine can be in one of four states: ‘running smoothly’ (state 1), ‘running but needs adjustment’ (state 2), ‘temporarily broken’ (state 3), and ‘destroyed’ (state 4). Each morning the state of the machine is recorded. Suppose that the state of the machine tomorrow morning depends only on the state of the machine this morning subject to the following rules. If the machine is running smoothly, there is 1% chance that by the next morning it will have exploded (this will destroy the machine), there is also a 9% chance that some part of the machine will break leading to it being temporarily broken. If neither of these things happen then the next morning there is an equal probability of it running smoothly or running but needing adjustment. If the machine is temporarily broken in the morning then an engineer will attempt to repair the machine that day, there is an equal chance that they succeed and the machine is running smoothly by the next day or they fail and cause the machine to…

The probability of breast cancer is 1% for a woman at age forty who participates in routine screening. If a woman has breast cancer, the probability is 80% that she will get a positive mammography. If a woman does not have breast cancer, the probability is 9.7% that she will also get a positive mammography. A woman in this age group had a positive mammography in a routine screening. What is the probability that she actually has breast cancer? (Hints: Use a Venn diagram and conditional probability methods. If you get confused working in terms of probabilities (most people do), multiply them all by 1000 and think/work in terms of integer counts of people instead.)
A student will take two trainee selection exams for companies A and B, respectively. He estimates the probability that he will pass the exam.Company A's selection rate is 2/3. In company B, the probability of approval is 3/4. Finally, the probability of being approved in both processes simultaneously is of 50%. Under these conditions, what is the probability of passing only one of the companies?
A stock index consists of businesses in both Europe and the United States. Assume that each business comprising the stock index makes a profit or loss independently of the other businesses in the index. Suppose that an American business on the stock index makes a profit 60%60% of the time and a European business makes a profit 80%80% of the time. If there are 840 American businesses and 720 European businesses in the stock index, what is the expected number of businesses in the stock index to make a profit?
Q. 1 t is estimated that 809% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
