Pidgeonhole Principle
1. The floor of x, written [x], also called the integral part, integer part, or greatest integer, is defined
as the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Similarly the ceiling of x, written [x], is the smallest
integer greater than or equal to x. Try figuring out the answers to the following:
(a) [2.1]
(b) [2]
(c) [2.9]
(d) [2.1]
(e) [2]
(f) [2.9]
2. The simple pidgeonhole principle states that, if you have N places and k items (k> N), then at
least one hole must have more than one item in it. We tried this with chairs and students: Assume you
have N = 12 chairs and k = 18 students. Then at least one chair must have more than one student on
it.
3. The general pidgeonhole principle states that, if you have N places and k items, then at least one
hole must have [] items or more in it. Try this out with
(a) n = 10 chairs and k = 15 students
(b) n = 10 chairs and k = 23 students
(c) n = 10 chairs and k = 20 students
4. There are 34 problems on these pages, and we…

The everything combined problem
Suppose that a computer science laboratory has 15 workstations and 10 servers. A cable can be used to
directly connect a workstation to a server. For each server, only one direct connection to that server can be
active at any time.
1. How many cables would you need to connect each station to each server?
2. How many stations can be used at one time?
3. How many stations can not be used at any one time?
4. How many ways are there to pick 10 stations out of 15?
5. (This one is tricky) We want to guarantee that at any time any set of 10 or fewer workstations can
simultaneously access different servers via direct connections. What is the minimum number of direct
connections needed to achieve this goal?

Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q3. The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is log (1.1).

(ii) Determine the market portfolio in this market and calculate its Sharp ratio.arrow_forward
- 3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75.

A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility?
