Answer to Problem 2.15CYS

The correct option is (b) 167.48.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The times in seconds to swim 200 metres at 90% of race pace when breathing every second stroke in front crawl swimming are given:

times
151.6
165.1
159.2
163.5
174.8
173.2
177.6
174.3
164.1
171.4

Reason for correct answer:

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the mean of the given data using the MINITAB software is.

  • Enter the name of variable times> Enter the given set of observations.
  • Go to Stat> choose Basic statistics>choose Display descriptive statistics.
  • Choose times > choose select >choose statistics> select mean.
  • Choose OK.
  • Choose OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

EBK THE BASIC PRACTICE OF STATISTICS, Chapter 2, Problem 2.15CYS

From the MINITAB output, the mean of the given data is 167.48.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a.: Mean calculated using MINITAB software is not 165.10.

Option c.: Mean calculated using MINITAB software is not 168.25.

Conclusion:

The mean of the given data is 167.48.

Problem 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…
