Chapter 9.5, Problem 9.30E

A random sample of n=1000 observations from a binomial population produced x=279 .

a. If your research hypothesis is that p is less than .3, what should you choose for your alternative hypothesis? Your null hypothesis?

b. What is the critical value that determines the rejection region for your test with α=.05 ?

c. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that p is less than .3? Use a 5% significance level.

T1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|. (i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.
We consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies:ˆ Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380.ˆ Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430.ˆ Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480.ˆ Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…
