Calculation: From the given data set consider the following three pair of variables.
1. EdCollege and Female
2. EdCollege and Age 18-24
3. EdCollege and Age 25-34
Now, construct the scatterplot with fitted linear regression line for each pair of variables.
Use Minitab to get the required result.
To draw the scatterplot of the provided data, below mentioned steps are followed in Minitab.
Step 1: Enter the data into Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Graph, select scatterplot and linear regression and click OK.
Step 3: Select the data variable column and click on Scale.
Step 4: Check minor ticks under Y Scale Low and X Scale Low and then click OK.
The obtained scatterplot of EdCollege and Female is shown below:
From the above plot we observe that there is a low positive relation between the two variables female and EdCollege.
The regression fit for the data is
The obtained scatterplot of EdCollege and Age 18-24 is shown below.
From the above plot we observe that there is a low negative relation between the two variables Age 18-24 and EdCollege. The regression fit for the data is
The obtained scatterplot of EdCollege and Age 25-34 is shown below.
From the above plot we observe that there is a low positive relation between the two variables Age 25-34 and EdCollege.

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
