Quick check
2. Is each question biased or fair? Explain.
a. Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza?
b. Which pizza topping do you like best?
a.
To find:
Whether the given question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is biased or fair and explain the answer.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The question is fair. It does not have any assumption about greasy meat, healthy vegetables or people.
Explanation of Solution
Definition used:
Biased question:
The biased question is the question which makes an unjustified assumption or introduce some answers appear good than others.
Calculation:
The question does not has any assumption to find the answer.
That is, there is no assumption for greasy meat, healthy vegetables or people.
Hence, the question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is fair.
b.
Whether the given question “Which pizza topping do you like best” is biased or fair and explain the answer.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The question is fair. It does not have any assumption about the type of pizza.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The question does not has any assumption to find the answer.
That is, there is no need to assume for the type of pizza. The answer is made by our choice.
Hence, the question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is fair.

That is, Gsatisfies the conditions and is not bipartite but G − e is bipartite for any edge e. (Note thatthis is essentially induction, just using different terminology.) What does minimality say aboutconnectivity of G? Can G − e be disconnected?

At time T = 1 year, the stock has either moved up to S1 = 8 (with probability0.7) or down towards S1 = 2 (with probability 0.3). We consider a call option on thisstock with maturity T = 1 and strike price K = 5. The interest rate on the money marketis 25% yearly.(a) Find the replicating portfolio (φ, ψ) corresponding to this call option.(b) Find the risk-neutral (no-arbitrage) price of this call option.(c) We now consider a put option with maturity T = 1 and strike price K = 3 onthe same market. Find the risk-neutral price of this put option.
