Suppose that r0, r1, . . . are i.i.d. N(0, 0.01^2).(a) What is the distribution of rt(8) = rt + rt−1 + rt−2 +...+ rt−7?(b) What is the covariance between r7(3) and r9(3)?(c) What is the conditional distribution r17(3) given that r16 =0.004 (d) What is the probability that the gross return over the first 10 times periods is at least 1.05?arrow_forwardSuppose that a sequence of mutually independent and identically distributed discrete random variables X₁, X₂, X3,..., X₁ has the following probability density function (exe-e x! 0, f(x; 0) = for x = 0,1,2,... elsewherearrow_forwardLet X be a continuous random variable with PDF 3 x > 1 x4 fx(x) = otherwise Find the mean and variance of x.arrow_forwardLet X1 and X2 be IID exponential with parameter > 0. Determine the distribution ofY = X1=(X1 + X2).arrow_forwardLet P be a random variable having a uniform distribution with minimum 0 and maximum 3 i.e. P ~ Uniform(0, 3). Let Q = log (P/(3-P)). Find E[P]. You areexpected to solve this problem without using Method of Transformation.arrow_forwardDetermine f(2) so that the given function can serve as a probability distribution of the discrete random variable X: f(x) = k(x² + 4), for x = 0, 1, 2, 3.
