Alice is considering buying a security from Bob. There are two states of the world, L and H, which occur with equal probability. In the H state the security is worth £20 to Alice and £15 to Bob. In the L state the security is worth S pounds to both. Assuming that only Bob knows the state of the world, Alice and Bob will be able to trade if S>10 Alice and Bob will never trade due to adverse selection If S<10, trade can only occur in state H Alice and Bob will never trade if S=15

This student never eats the same kind of food for 2 consecutive weeks. If she eats a Chinese restaurant one week, then she is equally likely to have Greek as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Greek restaurant one week, then she is three times as likely to have Chinese as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Italian restaurant one week, then she is four times as likely to have Chinese as Greek food the next week. Assume that state 1 is Chinese and that state 2 is Greek, and state 3 is Italian. Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. P =

A system has five components connected as shown in the diagram. Assume A, B, C, D, and E function independently. If the probabilities that A, B, C, D, and E function 0.50, 0.65, 0.75, 0.95, and 0.80 respectively, what is the probability that the system fails?
A trader invented a strategy where he can either win or lose a certain amount of money every day (say, k dollars) with equal probability, independently of all other days. (In fact, such a strategy is not very difficult to implement - buy a very liquid asset whose price moves without major jumps and liquidate the position as soon as you are making or losing k dollars). He then made the following statement: “If I use my strategy every day for the next 400 days, my chances of staying within 10,000 dollars of the original account balance are equal to 1/3.(a) What is k (approximately)?(b) What are his chances (approximately) of making over 20,000 with this strategy in 400 days?

A favorite casino game of dice “craps” is played in the following manner: A player starts by rolling a pair of balanced dice. If the roll (the sum of two numbers showing on the dice) results in a 7 or 11, the player wins. If the roll results in a 2 or 3 (called “craps”) the player loses. For any other roll outcome, the player continues to throw the dice until the original roll outcome recurs (in which case the player wins) or until a 7 occurs (in which case the player loses). When answering the following questions, you can use this outcome chart for the roll of two dice: Provide the probability answers in fraction and in decimal forms rounded to 4 digits. A. List the possible outcomes (sample space) for winning on the first roll of the dice. B. What is the probability that a player wins the game on the first roll of the dice? C. List the possible outcomes (sample space) for losing on the first roll of the dice. D. What is the probability that a player loses the game on the…
