Chapter 6.5, Problem 58E
Refer to the previous exercise. Suppose now that for a
6.67 The National Public Radio show Car Talk used to have a feature called “The Puzzler.” Listeners were asked to send in answers to some puzzling questions—usually about cars but sometimes about probability (which, of course, must account for the incredible popularity of the program!).
Suppose that for a car question, 800 answers were submitted, of which 50 are correct.
- a. Suppose that the hosts randomly select two answers from those submitted with replacement. Calculate the probability that both selected answers are correct. (For purposes of this problem, keep at least five digits to the right of the decimal.)
- b. Suppose now that the hosts select the answers at random but without replacement. Use conditional probability to evaluate the probability that both answers selected are correct. How does this probability compare to the one computed in Part (a)?

T1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an
independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|.
(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The
neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least
one end in a vertex cover.
(ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you
may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.
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…
