Definition of null hypothesis from the textbook
Definition of alternative hypothesis from the textbook
Imagine this: you suspect your beloved Chicken McNugget is shrinking. Inflation is hitting everything else, so why not the humble nugget too, right? But your sibling thinks you’re just being dramatic—maybe you’re just extra hungry today. Determined to prove them wrong, you take matters (and nuggets) into your own hands. You march into McDonald’s, get two 20-piece boxes, and head home like a scientist on a mission. Now, before you start weighing each nugget like they’re precious gold nuggets, let’s talk hypotheses. The average weight of nuggets as mentioned on the box is 16 g each. Develop your null and alternative hypotheses separately. Next, you weigh each nugget with the precision of a jeweler and find they average out to 15.5 grams. You also conduct a statistical analysis, and the p-value turns out to be 0.01. Based on this information, answer the following questions. (Remember,…

- This problem is based on the fundamental option pricing formula for the continuous-time model developed in class, namely the value at time 0 of an option with maturity T and payoff F is given by: We consider the two options below: Fo= -rT = e Eq[F]. 1 A. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K = So. B. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K given by T K = T St dt. (Note that both options can have negative payoffs.) We use the continuous-time Black- Scholes model to price these options. Assume that the interest rate on the money market is r.
