Suppose a person is thinking about entering a MarioKart competition at theirlocal videogame store. The competition costs 20 dollars to enter. The competition consists of 10 matches. The person knows that their chance of winning each match is 65% and that each match is independent of the others.
The payout for the competition is:
WIN ALL 10 Matches: 500 Dollar Prize
WIN 9 Matches: 250 Dollar PrizeWIN 8 Matches: 50 Dollar Prize
OTHERWISE: Nothing
1) Suppose that this person enters the competition 5 times.What is the probability they break even?(Hint: To break even they would need to win the $50 prize twice and lose the other three times. Use a modified binomial to calculate this probability.)
You are analyzing stocks of three companies you are interested in investing in. Suppose that these three stocks are Apple stock (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA). At the end of this month, each month may move up (increase in value), move down (decrease in value) or stay the same. In this case, an experiment consists of observing the price condition across the three stocks. Each of the three conditions (move up, move down, stay same) are equally likely.
How many outcomes are in the sample space?
List 7 of the outcomes. (use U for move up, D for moving down and S for staying the same)
Let A be the event that all the stocks have the same performance. List the outcomes in A.
Let B be the event that all of stocks are different. List the outcomes in B.
Let C be the event that at least two stocks move up.
Are events A and C mutually exclusive?

- Your probability professor has a tabby cat who sleeps 34% of the time and seems to respond to stimuli more or less randomly. If a human pets her when she’s awake, she will request more petting 8% of the time, food 38% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. If a human pets her when she’s asleep, she will request more petting 33% of the time, food 41% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. (You can assume that the humans don’t pet her disproportionally often when she’s awake.) • If the cat requests food when petted, what is the probability that she was asleep? • If the cat requests a game of fetch when petted, what is the probability that she was not asleep?arrow_forward6. 7.

- SC Español The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 8 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Store 1 878 511 837 835 755 241 713 443 D Store 2 685 412 785 763 480 173 639 287 Difference (Store 1 - Store 2) 193 99 52 72 275 68 74 156 Send data to calculator V Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ?

- You currently own a portfolio of eight stocks. Using the Markowitz model, you computed the optimal mean/variance portfolio. Theweights of these two portfolios are shown in the following table: Stock A B C D E F G HYour Portfolio 0.12 0.15 0.13 0.10 0.20 0.10 0.12 0.08M/V Portfolio 0.02 0.05 0.25 0.06 0.18 0.10 0.22 0.12 You would like to rebalance your portfolio in order to be closer to the M/V portfolio. To avoid excessively high transaction costs, you decide to rebalance only three stocks from your portfolio. Let xi denote the weight of stock i in your rebalanced portfolio. The objective is to minimize the quantity |x1-0.02|+|x2-0.05|+|x3-0.25|+...+|x8-0.12| which measures how closely the rebalanced portfolio matches the M/V portfolio.
