(a)
To find: The null and alternative hypotheses for the part (a) and part (b) of referred Exercise 12.35.
(a)

Answer to Problem 36E
Solution: The null and alternative hypotheses for part (a) are given below:
The null and alternative hypotheses for part (b) are given below:
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: For part (a), the null hypothesis represents that there is no difference between average score of brown eyes and average score of other two eye colors, while the alternative hypothesis assumes that there is significant difference between average score of brown eyes and average score of other two eye colors. That is,
The null hypothesis would be
Against the alternative hypothesis:
For part (b), the null hypothesis assumes that there is no difference there is no difference between average score of gaze eyes and average score of other three eye colors, that is, blue, green, and brown when the model is looking at you versus model looking downwards, while the alternative hypothesis assumes that that there is significant difference between average score of gaze eyes and average score of other three eye colors, that is, blue, green, and brown when the model is looking at you versus model looking down wards. That is,
The null hypothesis would be
Against the alternative hypothesis:
Interpretation: Null hypothesis for both the parts represents the zero difference. Alternative hypothesis for part (a) represents that there is some difference between the average score of brown eyes and average score of blue and green eyes and alternative hypothesis for part (b) represents that there is some difference between the mean score of gazed eyes and other three eye colors when the model is looking at you versus model looking down wards.

(e)

Answer to Problem 36E
Solution: The 95% interval for the first contrast
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The confidence interval for the first contrast
The confidence interval for the second contrast
Interpretation: Therefore, it can be concluded that for the first contrast, 95% of the time mean value lies between the values 0 and 0.39. Also, for the second contrast, 95% of the time mean value lies between the values 0.001 and 0.959.

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).

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…arrow_forward
