Chapter 4.5, Problem 2LC
A researcher takes all of the possible samples of n 4 from a population. Next, the researcher computes a statistic for each sample and calculates the average of all the statistics. Which of the following statements is the most accurate?
- a. If the average statistic overestimates the corresponding population parameter, then the statistic is biased.
- b. If the average statistic underestimates the corresponding population parameter, then the statistic is biased.
- c. If the average statistic is equal to the corresponding population parameter, then the statistic is unbiased.
- d. All of the above.

We consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…
