Interpretation: The above figure indicates the hit 397, total 500, and percent hit 79%. Three hundred and ninety-seven out of 500 intervals contain the true mean and the proportion of the interval that contains the true mean is 79%. From the pattern in the above seven cases, the proportion hit approaches near by 80% as the number of sample increases. Thus, one should expect that the percent capture to get closer to the confidence interval level is 80% as the number of samples increases.

- In this problem, we consider a Brownian motion (W+) t≥0. We consider a stock model (St)t>0 given (under the measure P) by d.St 0.03 St dt + 0.2 St dwt, with So 2. We assume that the interest rate is r = 0.06. The purpose of this problem is to price an option on this stock (which we name cubic put). This option is European-type, with maturity 3 months (i.e. T = 0.25 years), and payoff given by F = (8-5)+ (a) Write the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by (St) under the risk-neutral measure Q. (You don't need to prove it, simply give the answer.) (b) Give the price of a regular European put on (St) with maturity 3 months and strike K = 2. (c) Let X = S. Find the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by the process (Xt) under the measure Q. (d) Find an explicit expression for X₁ = S3 under measure Q.
