Answer to Problem 1PP

The standard deviation is 15.95

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Data is,

112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137

Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5

Formula:

  Standard deviation=variance

Calculation:

Using formula,

  Standard deviation=254.5=15.95

b)

To determine

To find sample size of given data

b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1PP

The sample size is 9.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Data is,

112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137

Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5

Calculation:

The sample size is a count of selected sample data values.

Therefore, here count is 9 hence sample size is n = 9.

Answer to Problem 1PP

The standard error of the mean = 5.32

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Data is,

112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137

Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5

Standard deviation s = 15.95 and Sample size = n = 9

Formula:

  Standard error=sn

Calculation:

Using formula,

  Standard error=15.959=5.32

d)

To determine

To find the approximate 95% confidence interval for mean

d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1PP

Lower limit = 120.4 mm Hg and upper limit = 141.6 mm Hg

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Data is,

112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137

Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5

Standard deviation s = 15.95 and Sample size = n = 9

Standard error = SE = 5.32

Formula:

  Lower limit = Mean  2×SEUpper limit = Mean + 2×SE

Calculation:

2 SE rule of thumb for approximate 95% confidence interval for mean is,

Population mean will be within Mean  2×SEand Mean + 2×SE

Therefore,

  Lower limit = 131  2×5.32=120.4mmHgUpper limit =131 + 2×5.32=141.6mmHg

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. (a) Using the fundamental option pricing formula, find the price of option A. (Hint: use the martingale properties developed in the lectures for the stock price process in order to calculate the expectations.) (b) Using the fundamental option pricing formula, find the price of option B. (c) Assuming the interest rate is very small (r ~0), use Taylor…

Bob and Teresa each collect their own samples to test the same hypothesis. Bob’s p-value turns out to be 0.05, and Teresa’s turns out to be 0.01. Why don’t Bob and Teresa get the same p-values? Who has stronger evidence against the null hypothesis: Bob or Teresa?
