There are only two states of the world, when a person is well with probability (1-p) and ill
with probability p, where (1-p)= 1/3 and p = 2/3. Consider Adam who has utility function
U = (Y1, Y2,1 – p,p) = Y,"-P)Y?, where Y; is the income and i =1 is well and i = 2 is ill.
When Adam is well, he earns $1000, but when he is ill, he losses $300 in health
expenditures and earnings such that Y2 = $700. What is the maximum total premium that
Adam is still willing-to-pay?
(1-р).
2.Suppose that the return R (in dollars per share) of a stock has the uniform distribution on the
interval [-3,7]. Suppose also, that each share of the stock costs $1.50. Let Y be the net return
(total return minus cost) on an investment of 10 shares of the stocks. Compute E(Y).

Assume that average annual temperatures are sampled i.id. from a continuous distribution.(Note: For this problem, we assume the temperature distribution doesn't change over time. With global warming, this is not a good assumption.)A year is a record high if its average temperature is greater than those in all previous years (starting with 2001), and a record low if its average temperature islower than those in all previous years. By definition, the year 2001 is both a record high and a record low.1.

She is concerned that wind velocity at the time of measurement may affect the readings. So, she decided to obtain observations on 30 randomly chosen days during the period of peak operation of the mill. She then, compares measurements taken on days when the wind is calm (velocity ≤ 5 knots) with measurements taken on windy days (velocity > 5 knots). The data are presented as the following: Table 1: Measurement of iron Calms Days Windy Days 0.68 0.74 0.88 0.25 0.29 0.3 0.43 0.45 0.5 0.89 0.97 1 0.65 0.91 0.92 0.93 0.95 1.01 1.17 1.25 1.27 0.69 0.74 0.8 0.87 0.87 0.89 8.85 1.54 0.6 1.03 1.16 By using SPSS or Minitab only: (1) Generate a descriptive table and summarize the data.
