Compute the projection of y = (1, 2, 2, 2, 1)  onto span (x1, x2) where

x1 =(1, 1, 1, 1, 1)   x2 =(4, 1, 0, 1, 4)

The inner product to use is the usual dot product. (This will compute a best-fitting function that is quadratic with no linear term, fitting to the data (−2, 1),(−1, 2),(0, 2),(1, 2),(2, 1).)

A slice consists of all the elements that are below, below right, or below left of the element above it. The Min Slice Weight is the minimum sum of all elements in the slice.

A Hackerrank Challenge:

Given an NxN matrix, slice it and find the minimum slice weight.

A slice consists of all the elements that are below, below right, or below left of the element above it. The Min Slice Weight is the minimum sum of all elements in the slice.

Example: given input

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

The slices would be 1 4 7 1; 1 4 8; 1 5 7; 1 5 8; 1 5 9; 2 4 7; 2 4 8; 2 5 8; 2 5 9;2 6 8; 2 6 9 ....etc.

KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MATRIX IS NOT 3 X 3, BUT N X N.

The minimum slice would be 1 4 7 in this case because 1+4+7 is the minimum of all the sums;

Write a function public int FindMinSlice (List<List> Matrix) that returns the min slice weight.

QUESTION 31

A bank that funds a portfolio of assets with higher credit risk than another bank has to have more equity capital if creditors are to be indifferent between lending to either bank.

True

False

QUESTION 32

Subprime assets lost value rapidly between 2007 and 2009. This lowered the value of banks that had exposure to these assets and financial institutions that had exposure to banks that were exposed to subprime risk. Since the assets were hard to value they were not acceptable as collateral. This made banks illiquid and this scared away the suppliers of bank capital. A liquidity crisis turned into a credit crisis for many financial institutions such as WAMU, Wachovia, Lehman and others.

True

False

QUESTION 33

If the yield curve shifts up in (interest rates along the curve all change by the same number of basis points) and the bank is funded with liabilities that have shorter maturities than its assets; the value of the bank will decline.

A pool of participants was randomly divided into FIVE treatment groups. The groups were administered daily doses of vitamin C over a 12-month period. The data in the table represents the number of cold and flu viruses reported by the participant as a function of their vitamin C dosage. Using α = .05, analyze the data using the correct statistical procedure.
