Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

A random variable X takes values 0 and 1 with probabilities q and p, respectively, with q+p=1. find the moment generating function of X and show that all the moments about the origin equal p. (Note- Please include as much detailed solution/steps in the solution to understand, Thank you!)
1 (Expected Shortfall) Suppose the price of an asset Pt follows a normal random walk, i.e., Pt = Po+r₁ + ... + rt with r₁, r2,... being IID N(μ, o²). Po+r1+. ⚫ Suppose the VaR of rt is VaRq(rt) at level q, find the VaR of the price in T days, i.e., VaRq(Pt – Pt–T). - • If ESq(rt) = A, find ES₁(Pt – Pt–T).
2 (Normal Distribution) Let rt be a log return. Suppose that r₁, 2, ... are IID N(0.06, 0.47). What is the distribution of rt (4) = rt + rt-1 + rt-2 + rt-3? What is P(rt (4) < 2)? What is the covariance between r2(2) = 1 + 12 and 13(2) = r² + 13? • What is the conditional distribution of r₁(3) = rt + rt-1 + rt-2 given rt-2 = 0.6?
