Answer to Problem 2.51E
The mean of pain group with smallest Scores is 3.71.
The median of pain-group with smallest Scores is 4.00.
The mean of pain-group without smallest Scores is 3.90.
The median of pain-group without smallest Scores is 4.14.
The mean is more affected than the median because mean is affected by the extreme values.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: From exercise 2.6, the bonding scores in the pain-group.
Calculation:
Mean with smallest scores of pain-group:
The formula for mean is,
The total number of observations in the pain-group are 27. The value of mean,
Thus, the mean of pain group with smallest observations is, 3.71.
Median with smallest scores of pain-group:
The total number of observation is 27. The value of median is,
The 14th term in the observations of pain group is 4.00.
Thus, the median of pain-group with smallest observations is 4.00.
Mean without smallest scores of pain group:
Thus, the mean of pain-group without smallest observations is 3.90.
Median without smallest scores of pain group:
The 13th term in the observations of pain-group is 4.14.
Thus, the median of pain-group without smallest observations is, 4.14.
Conclusion:
The mean and median of pain group with smallest observations is compared to the mean and median of the pain group without smallest observations, the effect is more on mean than the median.
The mean is affected by the extreme values because it is calculated based on all observations of the data, when the smallest observations are omitted from the distribution then mean is more effected. The median is middle value of the distribution and is not affected by the extreme values.

Explanation of Solution
Given info: From exercise 2.6, the bonding scores in the pain-group
Calculation:
First
The observations of pain group that are left to the location of median is 13.
Here, 3.43 is the 7th term in the observations of pain group that are left to location of median.
The first quartile
Third quartile
The observations of pain group that are right to the location of median is 13.
Here, 4.43 is the 7th term in the observations of pain group that are right to median.
The third quartile

Justification:
Outlier:
The data points that lie outside the overall distribution is termed as outlier.
Here, in the pain-group 1.29, 1.43 are far from the remaining observations and are considered as outliers.

To explain: how randomization of the students of two groups led to outliers.
c.

Answer to Problem 2.51E
The randomization of students in the two groups led to the outliers because through randomization the students with little pain are misplaced in the pain-group.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: A small percentage of subjects would experience little bonding regardless whether they were in the pain-group or the no-pain group.
Justification:
Randomization:
A technique of using chance method to assign subjects to the treatments equally is termed as randomization.
Randomization is the process in which all the students are assigned randomly within two groups ‘Pain, No pain’. Due to this randomization students who are having less pain are incorrectly placed in the pain group, these misplaced students are considered as outliers in the pain group.

- Problem 3. 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_forwardThe scores of 8 students on the midterm exam and final exam were as follows.
