Analyze the residuals of a linear regression model and select the best response.
yes, the residual plot does not show a curve
no, the residual plot shows a curve
yes, the residual plot shows a curve
no, the residual plot does not show a curve
I answered, "No, the residual plot shows a curve." (and this was incorrect). I am not sure why I keep getting these wrong when the answer seems obvious. Please help me understand what the yes and no references in the answer.
a. Find the value of A.b. Find pX(x) and py(y).c. Find pX|y(x|y) and py|X(y|x)d. Are x and y independent? Why or why not?

- 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.
