a. To state:
The null and alternative hypothesis.

Answer to Problem 18E
Solution:
The null hypothesis is
Explanation of Solution
Consider the following scenario,
“Teachers’ salaries in one state are very low, so low that educators in that state regularly complain about their compensation. The state
State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Suppose teachers claims that mean in their district is significantly lower than state mean of $33, 600. That is the research hypothesis mathematically as
The Null hypothesis:
The alternative hypothesis:
Final statement:
The null hypothesis is
b. To determine:
Which distribution to use for the test statistic, and state the level of significance.

Answer to Problem 18E
Solution:
The t-test statistic is used and the level of significance of
Explanation of Solution
The t-test statistic is appropriate to use in this case because the claim is about a population mean, the populations
So, t-test statistic is used and the level of significance of
Final statement:
The t-test statistic is used and the level of significance of
c. To gather:
The data and calculate the necessary sample statistics.

Answer to Problem 18E
Solution:
The calculated test statistic is -3.7030.
Explanation of Solution
The test statistic formula:
Test statistic for a hypothesis test for a population mean (
When the population standard deviation is unknown, the sample taken is a simple random sample, and either the
Where n is the sample size,
The given information is,
Substitute these values in the test statistic formula to get the following,
So, the calculated test statistic is -3.7030.
Final statement:
The calculated test statistic is -3.7030.
d. To draw:
To Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

Answer to Problem 18E
Solution:
There is a significance evidence to support the teachers’ claims that the mean in their district is significantly lower at the 0.01 level of significance.
Explanation of Solution
Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown and the population distribution is approximately normal.
Rejection Region for Hypothesis Tests for Population Means (
If p-value
If p- value
Degrees of Freedom for t in a Hypothesis Test for a Population Means (
In a hypothesis test for a population mean where the population standard deviation is unknown, the number of degrees of freedom for the Student’s t- distribution of the test statistic is given by
Where n is the sample size.
Form the given information this is the left-tailed test since
From the given information n = 22 then the degrees of freedom is given below,
Conclusion:
Consider the level of significance of
Use the “p value of t-test statistic” calculator to get the following,
The p -value is approximately 0.0007. Since
The diagrammatic representation is given below,
Thus the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis.
So, there is significance evidence to support the teachers’ claims that the mean in their district is significantly lower at the 0.01 level of significance.
Final statement:
There is a significance evidence to support the teachers’ claims that the mean in their district is significantly lower at the 0.01 level of significance.

Pricing a multi-stock option the Margrabe formula The purpose of this problem is to price a swap option in a 2-stock model, similarly as what we did in the example in the lectures. We consider a two-dimensional Brownian motion given by W₁ = (W(¹), W(2)) on a probability space (Q, F,P). Two stock prices are modeled by the following equations: dX = dY₁ = X₁ (rdt+ rdt+0₁dW!) (²)), Y₁ (rdt+dW+0zdW!"), with Xo xo and Yo =yo. This corresponds to the multi-stock model studied in class, but with notation (X+, Y₁) instead of (S(1), S(2)). Given the model above, the measure P is already the risk-neutral measure (Both stocks have rate of return r). We write σ = 0₁+0%. We consider a swap option, which gives you the right, at time T, to exchange one share of X for one share of Y. That is, the option has payoff F=(Yr-XT). (a) We first assume that r = 0 (for questions (a)-(f)). Write an explicit expression for the process Xt. Reminder before proceeding to question (b): Girsanov's theorem…arrow_forwardProblem 1. Multi-stock model We consider a 2-stock model similar to the one studied in class. Namely, we consider = S(1) S(2) = S(¹) exp (σ1B(1) + (M1 - 0/1 ) S(²) exp (02B(2) + (H₂- M2 where (B(¹) ) +20 and (B(2) ) +≥o are two Brownian motions, with t≥0 Cov (B(¹), B(2)) = p min{t, s}. " The purpose of this problem is to prove that there indeed exists a 2-dimensional Brownian motion (W+)+20 (W(1), W(2))+20 such that = S(1) S(2) = = S(¹) exp (011W(¹) + (μ₁ - 01/1) t) 롱) S(²) exp (021W (1) + 022W(2) + (112 - 03/01/12) t). where σ11, 21, 22 are constants to be determined (as functions of σ1, σ2, p). Hint: The constants will follow the formulas developed in the lectures. (a) To show existence of (Ŵ+), first write the expression for both W.
