There is a river whose average daily flow Q follows a normal distribution. The average flow is 800 cfs and the standard deviation is 1000 cfs. Determine the following:
(a) The probability that the flow observed on a given day exceeds 10,000 cfs.
(b) The probability that the observed flow is between 5,000 and 7,000 cfs.
c) The value of the flow that has a 1% probability of exceeding.

The flow in a river can be modeled as a log-normal distribution. From the data, it was estimated that, the probability that the flow exceeds 1100 cfs is 50% and the probability that it exceeds 100 cfs is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river. Flood conditions occur when flow is 5000 cfs or above. To compute the percentage of time flood conditions occur for this river, we have to find, P(X≥5000)=1-P(Z<a). What is the value...

A factory produces steel cables, whose resilience follows a normal distribution of unknown mean and standard deviation σ = 10 KJ / m3. A sample of 100 pieces was taken and through a statistical study a confidence interval (898.04 - 901.96) was obtained for the average resilience of the steel cables produced in the factory. a) Calculate the value of the average resilience of the 100 pieces of the sample. b) Calculate the confidence level with which this interval has...

The daily market return follows a Normal distribution with mean 0.08/252 and standard deviation 0.15/?252. The risk-free rate is 0.02. CAPM Betas of stock A and B are 2.1 and 0.5, respectively. All alphas are zero. Idiosyncratic volatilities of stock A and B are 0.12/?252 and 0.14/?252, respectively. The current price of stock A and B are $100/share and $200/share, respectively, and you sell short them. Initial margin rate is 50% and the maintenance margin is 30%. Compute probability that...
