Question Explanation A fundamental question about different types of risks. Question 2 (5 points) Suppose there are three securities (A‚ B‚ and C) to choose from‚ and next year the economy will be in an expansion‚ normal‚ or recession state with probabilities 0.29‚ 0.34‚ and 0.37‚ respectively. The returns (%) on the securities in these states are as follows: Security A {expansion = +27.55‚ normal = +8.00‚ recession = +6.00}; Security B {+40.59‚ +14.00‚ -19.00}; Security C {+9.50‚ +9.50‚ +9.50}.

Task 1: Big Foot Part 1 After viewing some background information on the yowie (a short video and newspaper article)‚ we were given the foot length of the yowie (43cm) and asked to find its height from this measurement. We were asked to collect a series of measurements of our body proportions. After some discussion about not getting precise enough approximation for some body proportions‚ specifically the a/b/c finger‚ we decided to only include foot length‚ height and arm span as we thought that

1. Assume the resting heart rates for a sample of individuals are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 15. Use the 68-95-99 rule to find the following quantities: a. Percentage of rates less than 70 = 50% b. Percentage of rates less than 55 = 16% c. Relative frequency of rates less than 40 = 2.5% d. Percentage of rates less than 85 = 84% e. Relative frequency of rates less than 100 = 97.5% f. Percentage

the film may be low or high and demand for the film may be low or high. Assume that costs have no impact on demand; the two realizations are independent random draws. There is a .5 probability costs will be 140 and a .5 probability costs will be 60. There is a .4 probability that revenues will be 140 and a .6 probability that revenues will be 80. The studio’s profits depend on the outcomes as follows: Low Cost/High Demand: 140 – 60 = 80 Low Cost/Low Demand: 80 – 60 = 20 High Cost/High Demand:
