    140.987275
    150.994143

Explanation of Solution

It is given in the question that the CDC receives reports of 7.7 cases of typhoid fever per week, on average, from all over the United States, although most cases were acquired during international travel. Let Xbe the number of cases of typhoid cases received. Xhave a Poisson distribution with average of 7.7 cases of typhoid fever per week. To find the cumulative probabilities of X equals 0,1,2,3, to 15 we will use excel function. The excel function is:

  =POISSON.DIST(x,mean, cumulative)

In the cumulative, the FALSE gives the exact value and TRUE gives the less than value.

Thus, the calculation is as:

    Xcumulative probabilities
    1=POISSON.DIST(AJ116,7.7,TRUE)
    2=POISSON.DIST(AJ117,7.7,TRUE)
    3=POISSON.DIST(AJ118,7.7,TRUE)
    4=POISSON.DIST(AJ119,7.7,TRUE)
    5=POISSON.DIST(AJ120,7.7,TRUE)
    6=POISSON.DIST(AJ121,7.7,TRUE)
    7=POISSON.DIST(AJ122,7.7,TRUE)
    8=POISSON.DIST(AJ123,7.7,TRUE)
    9=POISSON.DIST(AJ124,7.7,TRUE)
    10=POISSON.DIST(AJ125,7.7,TRUE)
    11=POISSON.DIST(AJ126,7.7,TRUE)
    12=POISSON.DIST(AJ127,7.7,TRUE)
    13=POISSON.DIST(AJ128,7.7,TRUE)
    14=POISSON.DIST(AJ129,7.7,TRUE)
    15=POISSON.DIST(AJ130,7.7,TRUE)

The result will be as:

    Xcumulative probabilities
    10.00394
    20.017364
    30.051819
    40.118145
    50.220287
    60.351369
    70.49556
    80.634343
    90.75308
    100.844508
    110.908507
    120.949573
    130.973897
    140.987275
    150.994143

Answer to Problem 12.18AYK

  0.003346 .

Explanation of Solution

It is given in the question that the CDC receives reports of 7.7 cases of typhoid fever per week, on average, from all over the United States, although most cases were acquired during international travel. Let Xbe the number of cases of typhoid cases received. Xhave a Poisson distribution with average of 7.7 cases of typhoid fever per week. To find the probability that the CDC receives reports of more than 15 cases of typhoid fever next month we will use excel function. The excel function is:

  =POISSON.DIST(x,mean, cumulative)

In the cumulative, the FALSE gives the exact value and TRUE gives the less than value.

Thus, the calculation is as:

  P(X>15)=1P(X<15)

    P(X>15)==1-POISSON.DIST(15,7.7,TRUE)

The result is as:

    P(X>15)=0.005857

Thus, the probability that the CDC receives reports of more than 15 cases of typhoid fever next monthis 0.003346 . If this happens that then we conclude that the city have most cases for typhoid fever and it will be increasing more and the people must take precaution for the same by avoiding unhygienic foods but the probability calculated above is less so the chance for this is to happen is low.

Problem 3. 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…
Problem 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. (¹) and W (2) functions of (B(1), B(²)). as (b) Using the formulas obtained in (a), show that the process (WA) is actually a 2- dimensional standard Brownian motion (i.e. show that each component is normal, with mean 0, variance t, and that their…
