1. Differentiate between discrete and continuous random variables,
providing examples for each type.
2. Consider a discrete random variable representing the number of
patients visiting a clinic each day. The probabilities for the
number of visits are as follows:
0 visits: P(0) = 0.2
1 visit: P(1) = 0.3
2 visits: P(2) = 0.5
Using this information, calculate the expected value (mean) of
the number of patient visits per day. Show all your workings
clearly.
Rubric to follow
Definition of Random variables ( clearly and accurately differentiate between discrete and continuous random variables with appropriate examples for each)
Identification of discrete random variable (correctly identifies "number of patient visits" as a discrete random variable and explains reasoning clearly.)
Calculation of probabilities (uses the probabilities correctly in the calculation, showing all steps clearly and logically)
Expected value calculation (calculate the expected value (mean)…

If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems) Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150) Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied?

- Question 2. An American option on a stock has payoff given by F = f(St) when it is exercised at time t. We know that the function f is convex.

Two financial advisors estimate the parameters with two different statistical methods: they obtain the same return rate μ, the same volatility σ, but the first advisor has interest r₁ and the second advisor has interest rate r2 (r1>r2). They both use a CRR model with the same number of periods to price the option. Which advisor will get the larger price? (Explain your answer.)arrow_forward
