Consider three bonds with maturities of 2, 6, and 10 years. All three bonds have a coupon rate of 8% and have face values of $1,000. Assume semiannual coupon payments. Use this information to answer the following questions: a) What would be the market price of each bond if their YTM was 6%? b) What would be the market price of each bond if their YTM was 10%? c) Graph the relationship between bond prices (y-axis) and the YTM (X-axis) for the three bonds. What conclusions can you draw regarding the relationship between time to maturity and the sensitivity of bond prices to changes in interest rates?

Advertisers contract with Internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on their ad. Unfortunately, click fraud—the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue—has become a problem. According to BusinessWeek 43% of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 300 advertisers will be taken to learn more about how they are affected by this practice. Use z-table.

a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +- 0.03 of the population proportion experiencing click fraud?

(to 4 decimals)

b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.49?

(to 4 decimals)
