Animal Psychology Exercises 63–68 concern the following chart, which shows the way in which a dog moves its facial muscles when torn between the drives of fight and flight.7 The “fight” drive increases from left to right; the “flight” drive increases from top to bottom. (Notice that an increase in the “fight” drive causes the dog’s upper lip to lift, while an increase in the “flight” drive draws its ears downward.)
Let E be the event that the dog’s flight drive is strongest, let F be the event that the dog’s flight drive is weakest, let G be the event that the dog’s fight drive is strongest, and let H be the event that the dog’s fight drive is weakest. Describe the following events in terms of E, F, G, and H using the symbols
a. The dog’s flight drive is weakest, and its fight drive is not weakest.
b. The dog’s flight drive is not strongest, or its fight drive is weakest
c. Either the dog’s flight drive or its fight drive fails to be strongest.

- 1. ABC inc. stock is currently selling for $30, one year from today the stock price can either increase by 20% or decrease by 15%. The probability of an increase in the stock price is equal to 0.3. The one-year risk-free rate is 5% What is the value of a European put that expires in one year with an exercise price of $24. 2. Graphically, show the value and the profit and loss of the following butterfly position: Long in a call with an exercise price of $30, short in 2 calls with an exercise price of $45, and long in a call with an exercise price of 60. All calls are written on the same stock and have the same maturity. 3. "Early exercise of an American option on a stock that does not pay any dividend is not optimal regardless of whether the option is a Call or a Put". True, False, or Uncertain. Explain.arrow_forwardA product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must function. Two of the parts have a 0.79 probability of functioning, and two have a probability of 0.83. What is the overall probability that the product will function properly?

- Economists believe that the annual inflation rate in Turkey is affected by the changes in the petroleum prices . The probability of inflation rate increasing in 2021 is estimated to be 0.40 . The probability of petroleum prices rising in 2021 is estimated as 0.30 . The probability of both inflation rate and the petroleum prices rising in 2021 is given as 0.12 . On the other hand , the probability of inflation rate rising and at the same time , the petroleum prices not rising in 2021 is estimated to be 0.20 . If petroleum prices do not rise in 2021 , what is the probability of inflation rate rising in 2021 ?arrow_forwardEXERCISE 0.3. Roll three dice.
