Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 2.11E
(a)
To determine
To find: the highest percent of residents aged 25 to 34 and reason for an unusually high percent of residents in this age group.
(a)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 2.11E
16.0%
Explanation of Solution
Given:
By seeing the stem plot it is observed that 16.0% is the highest percentage and therefore this would be percent of the researcher, mainly because of immigration.
(b)
To determine
To Explain: the shape, centre and spread of the distribution, ignoring the researcher.
(b)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Given:
By seeing the stem plot, it is observed that centre is at 13.0% and the minimum and maximum percentages are 11.4% and 16.0% so the spread is between 11.4% and 16.0%. It is also observed that the data is approximately symmetric.
(c)
To determine
To Explain: that the distribution for young adults more or less spread out than the distribution in the figure for older adults, justify the answer.
(c)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It seem less because the spread of data was between 7.0% and 17.0% and lower value is lower than the lower certain value in (b) and upper value is higher than the upper certain value in (b).

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle.

Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
