Thus, we will create a regression line by using excel as:
We will first select the data given in the table and then go to the insert tab. In the tab we will use the
Thus, the regression line for this context is:
Thus, the slope of the line interprets that high jump height is lower, on average, by

Answer to Problem 51E
Explanation of Solution
In the question, the association between the high jump performance from the
Thus, from the above scatterplot in part (a) we can see that the coefficient of determination is also given, that is:
Thus, the value of

To explain do good high jumpers tend to be fast runners.
(c)

Answer to Problem 51E
Yes, good jumpers tend to be fast runners.
Explanation of Solution
In the question, the association between the high jump performance from the
Thus, we can say that good high jumpers tend to be fast runners because the slope is negative as calculated in part (a) and this implies faster runners tend to jump higher.
(d)
To explain what does the residuals plot reveal about the model.
(d)

Explanation of Solution
In the question, the association between the high jump performance from the
The residual plot is as:
From the above residual plot we can see that there is slight tendency for less variation in high-jump height among the slower runners than among that faster ones.
(e)
To explain do you think this is a useful model and would you use it to predict high-jump performance.
(e)

Answer to Problem 51E
No, this is not useful model and it does not be used to predict high-jump performance.
Explanation of Solution
In the question, the association between the high jump performance from the
Thus, we think that this model is not especially useful model because the residual standard deviation is

- This problem is based on the fundamental option pricing formula for the continuous-time model developed in class, namely the value at time 0 of an option with maturity T and payoff F is given by: We consider the two options below: Fo= -rT = e Eq[F]. 1 A. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K = So. B. An option with which you must buy a share of stock at expiration T = 1 for strike price K given by T K = T St dt. (Note that both options can have negative payoffs.) We use the continuous-time Black- Scholes model to price these options. Assume that the interest rate on the money market is r. (a) Using the fundamental option pricing formula, find the price of option A. (Hint: use the martingale properties developed in the lectures for the stock price process in order to calculate the expectations.)
