Addition Rule of Probability

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Textbook Question

Chapter 13.5, Problem 71E

Spreading Mutual Fund Investments among Asset classes Mutual funds (as well as other kinds of investments) normally are categorized into one of several ^“asset classes," according to the kinds of stocks or other securities they hold. Small capitalization funds are most aggressive, while cash is most conservative. Many investors, often with the help of an advisor, try to construct their portfolios in accordance with their stage of life. Basically, the idea is that a younger person can afford to be more aggressive (and assume more risk), while an older investor should be more conservative (assuming less risk). The investment diagrams here show typical percentage ranges that might be recommended by an investment advisor. In Exercises 69-72, divide the given investor's money into the five categories so as to position them right at the middle of the recommended ranges.

Asset Classes
a.	Aggressive Growth (small cap)
b.	Growth
c.	Growth & Income
d.	Income
e.	Cash

Duffin House, Higgins Press, and Sickle Publications all went public on the same day recently. John O'Hagan had the opportunity to participate in all three initial public offerings (partly because he and Marjory Duffin are good friends). He made a considerable profit when he sold all of the stock 2 days later on the open market. The following table shows the purchase price and percentage yield on the investment in each company.

Investing: Inverse ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) Inverse ETFs, sometimes referred to as "bear market" or "short" funds, are designed to deliver the opposite of the performance of the index or category they track, and so can be used by traders to bet against the stock market. The following table shows the performance of three such funds as of August 5, 2015.† Year-to-Date Loss (%) MYY (ProShares Short Midcap 400) 6 SH (ProShares Short S&P 500) 5 REW (ProShares UltraShort Technology) 7 You invested a total of $13,000 in the three funds at the beginning of 2011, including an equal amount in SH and REW. Your year-to-date loss from the first two funds amounted to $570. How much did you invest in each of the three funds? MYY$ SH$ REW$
