Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider a market with only 3 assets with expected rates of return of 10%, 20%, and 10% respectively. Assume that one can construct two portfolios w and v, with these assets such that these portfolios lie on the minimum-variance
set. Those portfolios are defined as follows: w=(0.6, 0.2, 0.2) and v= (0.8, -0.2, 0.4). Moreover, we assume that the market portfolio M is efficient.
Using the two-fund theorem we know that the market portfolio can be expressed as a linear combination of w and v, M= x*w+ y*v for some constants x and y.
Find the expression of the expected return of the market portfolio in terms of x and y.

- A time-series is a vector used to describe a process evolving as a function of time. Suppose c₁ € R³65 and C₂ € R³65 contains the number of cases of a virus over 365 consecutive days. Provide interpretations of the following mathematical statements (1 sentence per response). Interpretations should be in terms of virus cases, and not a re-statement of the mathematical expression. (a) (C₁)k+1 > (C₁)k for k = 1, 2, ..., 364.

There is a 15% probability that he will win the extra $9. What probability, p, of losing $7 would make the individual indifferent between to play and to not play the lottery?
