    130.973897
    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.

6 (Model Selection, Estimation and Prediction of GARCH) Consider the daily returns rt of General Electric Company stock (ticker: "GE") from "2021-01-01" to "2024-03-31", comprising a total of 813 daily returns. Using the "fGarch" package of R, outputs of fitting three GARCH models to the returns are given at the end of this question. Model 1 ARCH (1) with standard normal innovations; Model 2 Model 3 GARCH (1, 1) with Student-t innovations; GARCH (2, 2) with Student-t innovations; Based on the outputs, answer the following questions. (a) What can be inferred from the Standardized Residual Tests conducted on Model 1? (b) Which model do you recommend for prediction between Model 2 and Model 3? Why? (c) Write down the fitted model for the model that you recommended in Part (b). (d) Using the model recommended in Part (b), predict the conditional volatility in the next trading day, specifically trading day 814.
