Chapter 6.7, Problem 94E
Refer to the information given in Exercises 6.92 and 6.93.
- a. If two people are selected at random from this region, what is the estimated
probability that exactly one is a Caucasian? - b. If two people are selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that both are residents of the same county?
- c. If two people are selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that both are from different racial/ethnic groups?
6.92 On April 1, 2010, the Bureau of the Census in the United States attempted to count every U.S. resident. Suppose that the counts in the table given below are obtained for four counties in one region.
- a. If one person is selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that the selected person is from Ventura County?
- b. If one person is selected at random from Ventura County, what is the estimated probability that the selected person is Hispanic?
- c. If one Hispanic person is selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that the selected individual is from Ventura County?
- d. If one person is selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that the selected person is an Asian from San Luis Obispo County?
6.93 Refer to the information given in the previous exercise.
- a. If one person is selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that the person is either Asian or from San Luis Obispo County?
- b. If one person is selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that the person is Asian or from San Luis Obispo County but not both?
- c. If two people are selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that both are Caucasians?
If two people are selected at random from this region, what is the estimated probability that neither is Caucasian?

- 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. (e) Using the results above, find the price of the cubic put option mentioned above. (f) Is the price in (e) the same as in question (b)? (Explain why.)arrow_forwardProblem 4. Margrabe formula and the Greeks (20 pts) In the homework, we determined the Margrabe formula for the price of an option allowing you to swap an x-stock for a y-stock at time T.

(c) We consider a situation in which the correlation p between the two stocks increases: what can you say about the price Fo? (d) Assume that yo< xo and p = 1. What is the price of the option?arrow_forwardWe consider a 4-dimensional stock price model given (under P) by dẴ₁ = µ· Xt dt + йt · ΣdŴt where (W) is an n-dimensional Brownian motion, π = (0.02, 0.01, -0.02, 0.05), 0.2 0 0 0 0.3 0.4 0 0 Σ= -0.1 -4a За 0 0.2 0.4 -0.1 0.2) and a E R. We assume that ☑0 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and that the interest rate on the market is r = 0.02. (a) Give a condition on a that would make stock #3 be the one with largest volatility.
