29% of all college students major in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). If 46 college students are randomly selected, find the probability thata. Exactly 11 of them major in STEM. b. At most 12 of them major in STEM. c. At least 11 of them major in STEM. d. Between 11 and 15 (including 11 and 15) of them major in STEM.
4. Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q3.
The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is log (1.1).
(i) For each given μ, use Lagrange multipliers to determine the proportions (as a
function of μ) of wealth invested in the three assets available for the minimum
variance portfolio with expected return μ.
(ii) Determine the market portfolio in this market and calculate its Sharp ratio.
3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free
asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05,
Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75.
(i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What
portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio
variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points.
(ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and
variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.).
(iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient
frontier.
(iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's
portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.

- 2. A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility?

(This model is the same as in Prob. 1 of HW#2).We consider four options on this market: A European call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; A European put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5.(a) Find the price at time 0 of both European options.(b) Find the price at time 0 of both American options. Compare your results with (a)and comment.(c) For each of the American options, describe the optimal exercising strategy.arrow_forwardPlease ensure that all parts of the question are answered thoroughly and clearly.

- This question builds on an earlier problem. The randomized numbers may have changed, but have your work for the previous problem available to help with this one. A 4-centimeter rod is attached at one end to a point A rotating counterclockwise on a wheel of radius 2 cm. The other end B is free to move back and forth along a horizontal bar that goes through the center of the wheel. At time t=0 the rod is situated as in the diagram at the left below. The wheel rotates counterclockwise at 1.5 rev/sec. At some point, the rod will be tangent to the circle as shown in the third picture. A B A B at some instant, the piston will be tangent to the circle (a) Express the x and y coordinates of point A as functions of t: x= 2 cos(3πt) and y= 2 sin(3t) (b) Write a formula for the slope of the tangent line to the circle at the point A at time t seconds: -cot(3πt) sin(3лt) (c) Express the x-coordinate of the right end of the rod at point B as a function of t: 2 cos(3πt) +411- 4 -2 sin (3лt) (d)…arrow_forward5.
