The latest political survey in the United States indicates that, of randomly chosen citizens, the probability that they are liberal is 0.22, the probability that they are conservative is 0.55, and the probability that they are neither one nor another is 0.24. Assuming these probabilities are accurate, answer the following questions regarding the group of 10 randomly chosen Americans. (16 point)
What is the probability that four are liberal?
What is the probability that neither is conservative?
What is the probability that two are neither?
What is the probability that at least eight are liberals?

Assume that the United States invests heavily in government and corporate securities of Country K. In addition, residents of Country K invest heavily in the United States. Approxi-mately $10 billion worth of investment transactions occur between these two countries each year. The total dollar value of trade transactions per year is about $8 million. This information is expected to also hold in the future.

Because your firm exports goods to Country K, your job as international cash manager requires you to forecast the value of Country K's currency (the “krank”) with respect to the dollar. Explain how each of the following conditions will affect the value of the krank, holding other things equal. Then, aggregate all of these impacts to develop an overall forecast of the krank's movement against the dollar.

a. U.S. inflation has suddenly increased substantially, while Country K's inflation remains low.

b. Country K's interest rates have increased substantially, while U.S. interest rates remain low. Investors of both countries are attracted to high interest rates.

c. The U.S. income level decreased substantially, while Country K's income level has remained unchanged.

d. Country K is expected to impose a small tariff on goods imported from The U.S..

e. Combine all expected impacts to develop an overall forecast.

73% of owned dogs in the United States are spayed or neutered. Round your answers to four decimal places.

If 32 owned dogs are randomly selected, find the probability that

a. Exactly 21 of them are spayed or neutered.

b. At most 22 of them are spayed or neutered.

c. At least 24 of them are spayed or neutered.

d. Between 20 and 25 (including 20 and 25) of them are spayed or neutered.

In the United States, males between the ages of 40 and 49 eat on average 103.1 g of fat every day with a standard deviation of 4.32 g. Assume that the amount of fat a person eats is normally distributed. Round the probabilities to four decimal places. It is possible with rounding for a probability to be 0.0000.

a) State the random variable. rv X = the fat consumption of a randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 Correct

b) Find the probability that a randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 has a fat consumption of 98.04 g or grams or more.

c) Find the probability that a randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 has a fat consumption of 113.14 g or grams or less.

d) Find the probability that a randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 has a fat consumption between 98.04 and 113.14 g or grams.

e) Find the probability that randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 has a fat consumption that is at least 118.22 g or grams.

f) Is a fat consumption of 118.22 g or grams unusually high for a randomly selected male in the US between the ages of 40 and 49? Why or why not?

g) What fat consumption do 40% of all males in the US between the ages of 40 and 49 have less than? Round your answer to two decimal places in the first box. Put the correct units in the second box.

A researcher drew a random sample of 24 people seeking asylum in the United States and recorded whether they were granted amnesty ("yes" or "no"). The researcher also grouped them according to their gender ("male" or "female"). The results are below:

Group of answer choices

A)The overall population is expected to decrease in the future, while the number of those older than 65 years is expected to increase.

In this assignment, you will research and describe two antitrust laws in the United States. Some are described in the textbook, but you may find it to your advantage to research more beyond what you can see in the book .Or, perhaps you may want to research further the antitrust laws mentioned in the book. Additionally, you will discuss at least two controversies over antitrust policies. Include at least one case that you read about, textbook included, and describe why you believe the case was truly in violation of an antitrust law. Once again, outside research may help.

QUESTION 4   

Enrich Corporation is a battery manufacturing plant in the United States. The company confirmed that it was planning to open factories in Britain and Australia. Supposed the spot exchange rate for Australian dollar is A$1.42 = $1, while the British pound exchange rate is £1 = $1.30. The inflation rate in the United States will be 2.9 percent per year, Britain 3.5 percent and 4.5 percent in Australia. You as one of the finance department team need to analyse on the expected effect of inflation to exchange rate and the possibility of triangle arbitrage.

Required;

1. Discuss the political risk exposed to the Enrich Corporation if they decided to open new factory at overseas and what are some ways of hedging political risk.

2. Predict the exchange rate will be for Australian dollar in two years

3. Calculate the cross rate in terms of Australian dollar per pound.

4. Company has $10,000 and planning to use this money for investment in the exchange market. Supposed the cross rate is A$1.75 = £1. Is there an arbitrage opportunity here? If there is, explain how to take advantage of the mispricing.
