Weekly downtime of internet services from an internet service provider (in hours) has expected value 0.5 and variance 0.25. Based on past experience, the data scientist of a retailer store has calculated the loss function to the store from the downtime as C=30X+2X2 where X is the amount of weekly downtime and C is cost. Find the Expected cost, i.e, E(C).

A finance analyzer have come to the conclusion that he wants to purchase stocks from Company A, with an expected yield of E(X) = 4% and variance to the yield being V(X) = 0.49. Another stock from another Company B have an expected yield of E(Y) = 6% and variance V(Y) = 0.64. The correlation of the yield between the two stocks is p(X,Y) = 0.3. The finance analyzer wants to invest a portion p(0 < p < 1) into Company A stocks, and the rest (1 - p) into company B stocks. The combined investment have a yield of W = pX + ( 1 - p)Y. For p = 0.4, such that W = 0.4X + 0.6Y. What is the expected value and variance for W.

Suppose that there are two assets that are available for investment and an investor has the following expected utility: EU = E(R,)– 0.5Ao, where expected return and standard deviation are expressed in decimals. For example, if expected return is 25%, standard deviation is 15%, and risk aversion is 5, expected utility is computed as: EU = 0.25 – 0.5×5x 0.15 = 0.1938 Now, assume that there is no other instrument (such as the risk-free security) available. Then, derive the analytical expressions for the optimal portfolio weights of the first and the second assets for this specific investor. (Hint: We are not talking about a numerical response here. Rather, you are asked to derive mathematically how you would compute for the optimal portfolio.)
Suppose you obtain the following regression model, E[y]=91+79*x1 +20*x1*x2. What is the impact of a 39 unit change of x1 on the expected value of y when x2 is at its mean of 40?
Assume that you have collected cross-sectional data for average hourly earnings (ahe), the number of years of education (educ) and gender of the individuals (you have coded individuals as "1" if they are female and "0" if they are male; the name of the resulting variable is DFemme). Having faced recent tuition hikes at your university, you are interested in the return to education, that is, how much more will you earn extra for an additional year of being at your institution. To investigate this question, you run the following regression: ahe= -4.58 + 1.71×educ N = 14,925, R2 = 0.18, SER = 9.30 a. Interpret the regression output. b. Being a female, you wonder how these results are affected if you entered a binary variable (DFemme), which takes on the value of "1" if the individual is a female, and is "0" for males. The result is as follows ahe= = -3.44 - 4.09×DFemme + 1.76×educ N = 14,925, R2 = 0.22, SER = 9.08 Does it make sense that the standard error of the regression decreased…
Assume that there is a positive linear correlation between the variable R (return rate in percent of financial investment) and the variable t (age in years of the investment) given by the regression equation R = 2.5t + 5.3. 1- If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, what is the expected return rate when the investment is 7 years old?
An investor has found that company1 have an expected return on E(X) = 4% and variance for the return equal V(X) = 0.49. Company 2 has E(Y) = 6% and variance V(Y) = 0.64. The correlation between the companies return is ρ(X,Y) = 0.3. The investor wants to invest p (0<p<1) in company1 and (1-p) in company2. The combined investment have a return: R = pX + (1-p)Y. Let p=0.4 such that R= 0.4X +0.6Y. Find the Expectation and variance of R. how are these results in comparison with X and Y separatley?
