(a) Explanation Given Information: The set of measurements is 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m . Consider the set of measurements, 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m . The accuracy of a measurement means the number of digits, called significant digit. If a number contains less number of significant digits that means the measurement is less accurate. First write the precision and the accuracy of each measurement in organizes way. Measurement Precision Accuracy (Significant digits) 197.0 m 0.1 m 4 5 (b) To determine The least precision each set of measurements is 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m .

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. A person claims that because of convexity, it is optimal to exercise at expiration T. Do you agree with them?

Question 4. We consider a CRR model with So == 5 and up and down factors u = 1.03 and d = 0.96. We consider the interest rate r = 4% (over one period). Is this a suitable CRR model? (Explain your answer.)

Question 3. We want to price a put option with strike price K and expiration T. 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.)
