To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow:

Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school…
A horse trainer teaches horses to jump by using two methods of instruction. Horses being taught by method A have a lead horse that accompanies each jump. Horses being taught by method B have no lead horse. The table shows the number of training sessions required before each horse performed the jumps properly.

Use a rank-sum test with a5% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference between the training sessions distributions. If the value of the sample test statistic R, the rank-sum, is 150, calculate the P-value. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A data processing company has a training program for new salespeople. After completing the training program, each trainee is ranked by his or her instructor. After a year of sales, the same class of trainees is again ranked by a company supervisor according to net value of the contracts they have acquired for the company. The results for a random sample of 11 salespeople trained in the last year follow, where x is rank in training class and y is rank in sales after 1 year. Lower ranks mean higher standing in class and higher net sales.

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.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forward2. 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? Justify your answer. Hint. It might be…arrow_forwardPlease solving problem2 Problem1 We consider a two-period binomial model with the following properties: each period lastsone (1) year and the current stock price is S0 = 4. On each period, the stock price doubleswhen it moves up and is reduced by half when it moves down. The annual interest rateon the money market is 25%. (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_forward

Would appreciate work done written on paper. Thank you.arrow_forwardThis 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.
