Suppose the systolic blood pressure (in mm) of adult males has an approximately normal distribution with mean μμ =125 and standard deviation σσ =14.

Create an empirical rule graph with the following:

• A title and label for the horizontal axis including units.
• Vertical lines for the mean and first 3 standard deviations in each direction with numerical labels on the horizontal axis
• Labels for the areas of the 8 regions separated by the vertical lines as well.

Note: This may be hand drawn or computer generated. See the models for desired formats.

a. Upload your completed file below. Choose FileScan Mar 5, 2020 (1).pdf

Now use your graph to answer the following questions.

b. About 95% of men will have blood pressure between what amounts?

and

c. What percentage of men will have a systolic blood pressure outside the range 97 mm to 167 mm?

d. Suppose you are a health practitioner and an adult male patient has systolic blood pressure of 172 mm. Use statistics to explain the gravity of his situation. Structure your essay as follows:

1. A brief description of the normal distribution.
2. Why the normal distribution might apply to this situation.
3. Describe the specific normal distribution for this situation (give the mean and standard deviation)
4. A brief description of the empirical rule
5. What region of the graph (drawn in part a) the individual falls in
6. An estimate of individual's percentile.
7. Why this signifies a health concern.
8. A suggested course of action.

There is some evidence that, in the years 1981-85, a simple name change resulted in a short-term increase in the price of certain business firms' stocks (relative to the prices of similar stocks). (See D. Horsky and P. Swyngedouw, "Does it pay to change your company's name? A stock market perspective," Marketing Science v.6, pp. 320-35,1987.) Suppose that, to test the profitability of name changes in the more recent market (the past five years), we analyze the stock prices of a large sample of corporations shortly after they changed names, and we find that the mean relative increase in stock price was about 0.89%, with a standard deviation of 0.16%. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all companies that changed names during the past five years. Complete the following statements about the distribution of relative increases in stock price for all companies that changed names during the past five years.

(a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least of the relative increases in stock price lie between 0.57 % and 1.21 %.

(b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least of the relative increases in stock price lie between 0.65 % and 1.13 %.

(c) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately of the relative increases in stock price lie between 0.57 % and 1.21 %. (d) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 99.7% of the relative increases in stock price lie between % and %.

Suppose you work for a small company that produces and sells gourmet pierogi-flavored cookies (yum?) called Babushkies in Northwest Indiana. Your boss has never really paid any attention to the demand for your product before, and one day she asks you to conduct a quantitative demand analysis for Babushkies. She provides you with yearly data from 2000 and 2019 on factors that may be important in the demand for Babushkies, including the price (Px ) and number of Babushkies sold (Qx) , the price of a related good (Py) and the average annual income for Northwest Indiana (M ).

The following steps walk you through the process of conducting a quantitative demand analysis:

1. Estimate a demand function using a regression. Download the provided Problem Set 3 data file (PS3-Data.csv) and use it to estimate the following linear demand function using the regression tool (under Data Analysis) in Excel:

Qxd=α0+αXPx+αyPy+αMM

What is the estimated demand function (you can round estimated coefficients to two significant decimals)? Write this out clearly. Include a copy of your regression output from Excel.

Daddy Warbucks is in the process of adopting Annie from a New York orphanage. He pays $7,000 in 2017, and $7,500 in 2018. Daddy Warbucks’ AGI for 2018 is $165,000. ​

a. How much is the adoption credit that Daddy Warbucks may claim for 2018 if the adoption becomes final in 2018?

b. How much is the adoption credit that Daddy Warbucks may claim for 2018 if the adoption becomes final in 2019?

c. How much is the adoption credit that Daddy Warbucks may claim for 2018 if the adoption falls through and is never finalized?

Form a portfolio investing 50% of your money into Amazon and 50% into Pfizer.

a)Calculate the monthly return for each month of the portfolio. Then, provide arithmetic average and standard deviation of the portfolio return. Check and report whether the linear combination (weighted average) of standard deviation of two companies is smaller than portfolio’s standard deviation or not.

b)Calculate the monthly market return, average market return, and market variance using S&P500 Index. Using the variance of market return and covariance between market return and Amazon’s return, calculate the Amazon’s beta. Use =VAR.S() for variance and =COVARIANCE.S() function to get covariance

c)Suppose risk free rate is 1% and expected market return is 5%. Compute the expected return of Amazon using CAPM. You would get the beta in (b)
