Applying What You’ve Learned
Fitness survey. Personal fitness Magazine surveyed a group of young adults regarding their exercise programs and the following results were obtained:
3 were using CrossFit, Tae Bo, and Pilates to improve their fitness.
5 were using CrossFit and Tae Bo.
12 were using Tae Bo and Pilates.
8 were using CrossFit and Pilates.
15 were using CrossFit training only.
30 were using Tae Bo.
17 were using Pilates but not Tae Bo.
14 were using something other than these three types of workouts.
a. How many people were surveyed?
b. How many people were using only Tae Bo?
c. How many people were using Pilates but not CrossFit?

- Problem: The probability density function of a random variable is given by the exponential distribution Find the probability that f(x) = {0.55e−0.55x 0 < x, O elsewhere} a. the time to observe a particle is more than 200 microseconds. b. the time to observe a particle is less than 10 microseconds.arrow_forwardThe OU process studied in the previous problem is a common model for interest rates. Another common model is the CIR model, which solves the SDE: dX₁ = (a = X₁) dt + σ √X+dWt, - under the condition Xoxo. We cannot solve this SDE explicitly. = (a) Use the Brownian trajectory simulated in part (a) of Problem 1, and the Euler scheme to simulate a trajectory of the CIR process. On a graph, represent both the trajectory of the OU process and the trajectory of the CIR process for the same Brownian path. (b) Repeat the simulation of the CIR process above M times (M large), for a large value of T, and use the result to estimate the long-term expectation and variance of the CIR process. How do they compare to the ones of the OU process? Numerical application: T = 10, N = 500, a = 0.04, x0 = 0.05, σ = 0.01, M = 1000. 1 (c) If you use larger values than above for the parameters, such as the ones in Problem 1, you may encounter errors when implementing the Euler scheme for CIR. Explain why.arrow_forwardRefer to page 1 for a problem involving proving the distributive property of matrix multiplication.

- 3. Let {X} be an autoregressive process of order one, usually written as AR(1). (a) Write down an equation defining X₁ in terms of an autoregression coefficient a and a white noise process {} with variance σ². Explain what the phrase "{} is a white noise process with variance o?" means. (b) Derive expressions for the variance 70 and the autocorrelation function Pk, k 0,1,. of the {X} in terms of o2 and a. Use these expressions to suggest an estimate of a in terms of the sample autocor- relations {k}. (c) Suppose that only every second value of X is observed, resulting in a time series Y X2, t = 1, 2,.... Show that {Y} forms an AR(1) process.
