Answer to Problem 8SRE

The regression equation for predicting y from x is y^=1.6667+0.5333x_.

Explanation of Solution

The general equation of the regression line is given below:

y^=Intercept+Slope×x

The value of Intercept is given below:

y-intercept=y¯Slope×x¯

Where,

x¯sample average of xy¯sample average of ySlope=r×sysxr=(xix¯)(yiy¯)(n1)sxsysx=(xix¯)2nx1sy=(yiy¯)2ny1

The sample average of x is shown below:

x¯=xin=1+8+10+10+14+176=606=10

The sample average of y is shown below:

x¯=xin=1+4+6+12+12+76=426=7

The table below represents the values that help to find the regression equation:

xy(xix¯)(yiy¯)(xix¯)(yiy¯)(xix¯)2(yiy¯)2

84-2-3649
1060-1001
1012050025
141245201625
177700490
Total8015096

The value of sx is given below:

sx=(xix¯)2nx1=15061=1505=5.4772

The value of sy is given below:

sx=(yiy¯)2ny1=9661=965=4.3818

The value of r is given below:

r=80(61)(5.4772)(4.3818)=80119.9999=0.6667

The slope of the regression line is given below:

Slope=r×sysx=0.6667×4.38185.4772=0.5333

The value of Intercept is given below:

y-intercept=y¯Slope×x¯=70.5333×10=1.6667

Substitute the corresponding values in the regression equation.

The regression equation for predicting y from x is y^=1.6667+0.5333x_.

You have been hired as an intern to run analyses on the data and report the results back to Sarah; the five questions that Sarah needs you to address are given below.   Does there appear to be a positive or negative relationship between price and screen size? Use a scatter plot to examine the relationship. Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient between the two variables. In your interpretation, discuss the direction of the relationship (positive, negative, or zero relationship). Also discuss the strength of the relationship. Estimate the relationship between screen size and price using a simple linear regression model and interpret the estimated coefficients. (In your interpretation, tell the dollar amount by which price will change for each unit of increase in screen size). Include the manufacturer dummy variable (Samsung=1, 0 otherwise) and estimate the relationship between screen size, price and manufacturer dummy as a multiple linear regression model. Interpret the…

In this problem, we consider a Brownian motion (W+) t≥0. We consider a stock model (St)t>0 given (under the measure P) by d.St 0.03 St dt + 0.2 St dwt, with So 2. We assume that the interest rate is r = 0.06. The purpose of this problem is to price an option on this stock (which we name cubic put). This option is European-type, with maturity 3 months (i.e. T = 0.25 years), and payoff given by F = (8-5)+ (a) Write the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by (St) under the risk-neutral measure Q. (You don't need to prove it, simply give the answer.) (b) Give the price of a regular European put on (St) with maturity 3 months and strike K = 2. (c) Let X = S. Find the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by the process (Xt) under the measure Q. (d) Find an explicit expression for X₁ = S3 under measure Q. (e) Using the results above, find the price of the cubic put option mentioned above. (f) Is the price in (e) the same as in question (b)? (Explain why.)
