Investing: Inverse ETFS (Exchange Traded Funds) Inverse ETFS, sometimes referred to as "bear market" or "short"
funds, are designed to deliver the opposite of the performance of the index or category they track, and so can be used by
traders to bet against the stock market. The following table shows the performance of three such funds as of August 5,

- An investor is concerned with the market return for the coming year, where the market return is defined as the percentage gain (or loss, if negative) over the year. The investor believes there are five possible scenarios for the national economy in the coming year: rapid expansion, moderate expansion, no growth, moderate contraction, and serious contraction. Furthermore, she has used all of the information available to her to estimate that the market returns for these scenarios are, respectively, 23%, 18%, 15%, 9%, and 3%. That is, the possible returns vary from a high of 23% to a low of 3%. Also, she has assessed that the probabilities of these outcomes are 0.12, 0.40, 0.25, 0.15, and 0.08. Use this information to describe the probability distribution of the market return. Compute the following for the probability distribution of the market return for the coming year.: 1. Mean, 2.

In fact,according to the Department of the Treasury, the debt perperson living in the United States is approximately $53,000(or over $140,000 per U.S. household). The following datarepresent the U.S. debt for the years 2001–2014. Since thedebt D depends on the year y, and each input correspondsto exactly one output, the debt is a function of the year.

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.
