a.

Answer to Problem 40E
There is convincing evidence that there is a positive linear relationship between the minimum and maximum width of an object.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given data provide the dimensions of 27 representative food products.
Here,
Null hypothesis:
That is, there is no linear relationship between the minimum and maximum width of an object.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, there is a positive linear relationship between the minimum and maximum width of an object.
Here, the significance level is
Test Statistic:
The formula for test statistic is as follows:
In the formula, b denotes the estimated slope,
A standardized residual plot is shown below:
Standardized residual values and standardized residual plot:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to compute standardized residuals and its plot using MINITAB software:
- Select Stat > Regression > Regression > Fit Regression Model.
- In Response, enter the column of Maximum width.
- In Continuous Predictors, enter the columns of Minimum width.
- In Graphs, select Standardized under Residuals for Plots.
- In Results, select for all observations under Fits and diagnostics.
- In Residuals versus the variables, select Minimum width.
- Click OK.
Output obtained MINTAB software is given below:
From the standardized residual plot, it is observed that one point lies outside the horizontal band of 3 units from the central line of 0. The standardized residual for this outlier is 3.72, that is, for product 25.
Assumption:
Here, the assumption made is that, the simple linear regression model is appropriate for the data, even though there is one extreme standardized residual.
Test Statistic:
In the MINITAB output, the test statistic value is displayed in the column “T-value” corresponding to “Minimum width”, in the section “Coefficients”. The value is 13.53.
P-value:
From the above output, the corresponding P-value is 0.
Rejection rule:
If
Conclusion:
The P-value is 0 and the level of significance is 0.05.
The P-value is less than the level of significance.
That is,
Therefore, reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is convincing evidence that there is a positive linear relationship between the minimum and maximum width of an object.

- This problem is based on the fundamental option pricing formula for the continuous-time model developed in class, namely the value at time 0 of an option with maturity T and payoff F is given by: We consider the two options below: Fo= -rT = e Eq[F]. 1 A. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K = So. B. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K given by T K = T St dt. (Note that both options can have negative payoffs.) We use the continuous-time Black- Scholes model to price these options. Assume that the interest rate on the money market is r.
