Answer to Problem 19.56SE
Explanation of Solution
The given data represent the time spent by the customers in the restaurant on the next Saturday evening. The
Calculation:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure to draw stemplot using MINITAB software is as follows:
- Select Graph > Stem and leaf.
- Select the column of Time in Graph variables.
- Select OK.
Observation:
Symmetric distribution:
When the left and right sides of the distribution are approximately equal or mirror images of each other, then it is a symmetric distribution.
In the stemplot, the observations of the data set are extended to the left and to the right in a bell shape. Thus, the stemplot shows that data of times are symmetrically distributed.

To check: Whether there is a reason to think that the lavender odor has increased the mean time customers spent in the restaurant or not.
b.

Answer to Problem 19.56SE
Yes, there is a reason to think that the lavender odor has increased the mean time customers spent in the restaurant.
Explanation of Solution
The standard deviation
Calculation:
STATE:
In France, pizza restaurant owner knows the time customers spend in the restaurant on Saturday evening. The mean time spent by the customers in the restaurant is 90 minutes. Is there any reason to think that the lavender odor increased the mean time spent in the restaurant?
PLAN:
Parameter:
Define the parameter
The hypotheses are given below:
The claim of the problem is increase in mean time of customers spent in the restaurant.
Null Hypothesis:
That is, the mean time is equal to 90 minutes.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the mean time is greater than 90 minutes. Hence, the alternative hypothesis is one sided.
SOLVE:
Conditions for valid test:
A sample of 20 timings of a restaurant is randomly selected and times follow
Test statistic and P-value:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to obtain test statistic and P-value using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample Z.
- In Samples in Column, enter the column of Times.
- In Standard deviation, enter15.
- In Perform hypothesis test, enter the test mean 90.
- Check Options, enter Confidence level as 95.
- Choose greater than in alternative.
- Click OK in all dialogue boxes.
Output using the MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the test statistic is 5.73 and the P-value is 0.000.
Decision criteria for the P-value method:
If
If
CONCLUDE:
Use a significance level,
Here, P-value is 0.000, which is less than the value of
That is,
Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Thus, there is good evidence that the mean time of customers who spent in the restaurant is increased.

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). (a) We first assume that r = 0 (for questions (a)-(f)). Write an explicit expression for the process Xt. Reminder before proceeding to question (b): Girsanov's theorem…arrow_forwardProblem 1. 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
