You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 60% and 40%, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 14%, and Y has an expected rate of return of 10%. To form a complete portfolio with an expected rate of return of 9.7%, you should invest ________ of your complete portfolio in Treasury bills.

3. Business schools A and B reported the following summary of GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test) mathematics scores. Test the claim that there is a difference in means between two schools A and B. (a) At α = 1%, use the Classical approach to conclude it. (b) Using the P-value approach to conclude it. Business school A : n=50, X bar=37, S2=100 Business school B : n=40, X bar= 33, S2 = 80

With its given resources and technology, an economy can produce either 50 units of good Y or 100 units of good X. For each of the following combinations of goods indicate whether the combination is NF (not feasible), FE (feasible and efficient), or FI (feasible but inefficient). Enter the two letters only.
20 units of good Y and 60 units of good X
25 units of good Y and 40 units of good X
30 units of good Y and 80 units of good X
Please explain :)

You have 2 fair six-sided dice: one that is red and one that is blue. You conduct a random experiment by rolling the red die first and then rolling the blue die. Use this information and answer questions 2a to 2e.
2a) Determine whether following statements are outcome or
event.
You roll a red 1 and blue 3.
You roll a red 2 and blue 5.
The sum of two dice is greater than 9.
2b) How many outcomes are there in the sample space? (Use integer)
2c) What is the probability that you roll a red 3 and blue 4? (use 4 decimal places)
2d) What is the probability that the sum of your roll is 7? (use 3 decimal places)
2e) What is the probability that the sum of your roll is 8? (3 decimal places)
