Chapter 2.2, Problem 15E
A petition with 500 signatures is submitted to a university’s student council. The council president would like to determine the proportion of those who signed the petition who are actually registered students at the university. There is not enough time to check all 500 names with the registrar, so the council president decides to select a simple random sample of 30 signatures. Describe how this might be done.

A random variable X takes values 0 and 1 with probabilities q and p, respectively, with q+p=1. find the moment generating function of X and show that all the moments about the origin equal p. (Note- Please include as much detailed solution/steps in the solution to understand, Thank you!)
1 (Expected Shortfall)
Suppose the price of an asset Pt follows a normal random walk, i.e., Pt =
Po+r₁ + ... + rt with r₁, r2,... being IID N(μ, o²).
Po+r1+.
⚫ Suppose the VaR of rt is VaRq(rt) at level q, find the VaR of the price
in T days, i.e., VaRq(Pt – Pt–T).
-
• If ESq(rt) = A, find ES₁(Pt – Pt–T).
2 (Normal Distribution)
Let rt be a log return. Suppose that r₁, 2, ... are IID N(0.06, 0.47).
What is the distribution of rt (4) = rt + rt-1 + rt-2 + rt-3?
What is P(rt (4) < 2)?
What is the covariance between r2(2) = 1 + 12 and 13(2) = r² + 13?
• What is the conditional distribution of r₁(3) = rt + rt-1 + rt-2 given
rt-2 = 0.6?
