Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Correlation is measure of linear association between two variables. The variables are said to be correlated when the change in one variable affects the other variable.
The
If two variables have a very strong positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .8 and 1. If two variables have a strong correlation, then correlation falls between .6 and .8. If two variables have a moderate positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .4 and .6. If two variables have a weak positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .2 and .4. And, if two variables have a very weak positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .0 and .2.
Similarly, if two variables have a very strong negative relation, then the correlation value lies between

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
