2 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e EXERCISE P.1 (b) X s a random varable because attendance s not known pror to the outdoor concert. Before the concert, attendance s uncertan because the weather s uncertan. Expected attendance s gven by E( X) x f( x) x (c) Expected proft s gven by EY ( ) E(5X000) 5 E( X) (d) The varance of proft s gven by var( Y) var(5 X 000) 5 var( X) 50,000 6,000,000

The completed table s f ( xy, ) 0 1 f ( x ) X Y f ( y ) (b) E( X) x f( x) x You should take the bet because the expected value of your wnnngs s postve. (c) The probablty dstrbuton of your wnnngs f you know she dd not study s It s gven n the followng table f ( x,1) f x y1 for x 10, 0,10 f (1) Y f x f f x y 1 X (,1) (1) Y (d) Gven that she dd not study, your expected wnnngs are E X Y 1 xf x y x
4 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e EXERCISE P.3 Assume that total sales X are measured n mllons of dollars. Then, X N.5,0.3, and P X 3.5 3PZ 0.3 P Z P Z
5 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 5 EXERCISE P. Extendng the table to nclude the margnal dstrbutons for poltcal afflaton (PA) and CITY yelds Poltcal Afflaton (PA) R I D f ( CITY ) CITY Southern Northern f ( PA ) (, ) 0.18 f R Northern 0.3 f ( Northern) 0.6 PR CITY Northern CITY (b) Poltcal afflaton and regon of resdence are not ndependent because, for example, f( R, Northern) 0.18 f ( R) f ( Northern) PA CITY (c) E( PA) Rf ( R) I f ( I) D f ( D) PA PA PA (d) E( X) EPAPA E( PA) EPA where E PA R f ( R) I f ( I) D f ( D) PA PA PA Thus, 11.1 EX EPA EPA ( ) ( )
6 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 6 EXERCISE P.5 (b) The probablty that the NFC wns the 1 th flp, gven they have won the prevous 11 flps s 0.5. Each flp s ndependent; so the probablty of wnnng any flp s 0.5 rrespectve of the outcomes of prevous flps. Because the outcomes of prevous flps are ndependent and ndependent of the outcomes of future flps, the probablty that the NFC wll wn the next two consecutve flps s 0.5 multpled by 0.5. That s, Go Sants!
7 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 7 EXERCISE P.6 ESALES ( ) E( PRICE) EPRICE ( ) var( SALES ) var( PRICE) 30 var( PRICE) 30 5,6,500 (b) (c) PSALES PZ 6500 P Z P Z
8 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 8 EXERCISE P.7 After ncludng the margnal probablty dstrbutons for both C and B, the table becomes C B 0 1 f () c f () b The margnal probablty dstrbuton for C s gven n the last column of the above table. (b) EC ( ) cf( c) (c) C c f c E C c var( ) ( ) ( ) (1.3) 0.51 c (d) For the two companes advertsng strateges to be ndependent, the condton f (,) cb f () c f () b must hold for all c and b. We fnd that C B f(0,0) 0.05 f (0) f (0) C Thus, the two companes advertsng strateges are not ndependent. B (e) Values for A are gven by the equaton A B. Its probablty dstrbuton s obtaned by matchng values obtaned from ths equaton wth correspondng probabltes for B. A f ( a ) (f) Snce the relatonshp between A and B s an exact lnear one, they are perfectly correlated. The correlaton between them s 1.
9 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 9 EXERCISE P.8 X f ( x ) (b) PX PX or X 5 (c) EX ( ) xf( x) x The result EX ( ) 3.5 means that f a de s rolled a very large number of tmes, the average of all the values shown wll be 3.5; t wll approach 3.5 as the number of rolls ncreases. (d) EX x f( x) (e) X EX E X x var( ) ( ) (f) The results for ths part wll depend on the rolls obtaned by the student. Let X n denote the average value after n rolls. The values obtaned by one of us and ther averages are: 0 values of X,1,5,3,,1,5,5,,,,,,,,,3,,6,3 X X X These values are relatvely close to the mean of 3.5 and are expected to become closer as the number of rolls ncreases.
10 Probablty Prmer, Exercse Solutons, Prncples of Econometrcs, e 10 EXERCISE P.9 fx f(x)=/3 - /9x x The area under the curve s equal to one. Recallng that the formula for the area of a trangle s half the base multpled by the heght, t s gven by (b) When x 1, f( x) 5 9. The probablty s gven by the area under the trangle between 0 and 1/. Ths can be calculated as 1 P1/ X 3. The latter probablty s Therefore, P1/ X 3 bh P(0 X 1/ ) 1P1/ X (c) To compute ths probablty we can subtract the area under the trangle between 3/ to 3 from the area under the trangle from 1/ to 3. Dong so yelds f f P X P X P X

(b) PX ( 0) PZ PZ ( 1.5) PX ( 0.15) PZ PZ (.5) (c) Let Y be the return from the alternatve portfolo. Then, ~ 0.07, PY ( 0) PZ PZ ( 1) Y N PX ( 0.15) PZ PZ ( 1.19) The calculatons show that the probablty of a negatve return has ncreased from 10.56% to 15.87%, whle the probablty of a return greater than 15% has ncreased from 0.6% to 1.65%. Whether fund managers should or should not change ther portfolos depends on ther rsk preferences.
