Greta, an elderly investor, has a degree of risk aversion of A = 3 when applied to return on wealth over a one-year horizon. She is pondering two portfolios, the S&P 500 and a hedge fund, as well as a number of one-year strategies. (All rates are annual and continuously compounded.) The S&P 500 risk premium is estimated at 5% per year, with a SD of 20%. The hedge fund risk premium is estimated at 10% with a SD of 35%. The returns on both of these portfolios in any particular year are uncorrelated with its own returns in other years. They are also uncorrelated with the returns of the other portfolio in other years. The hedge fund claims the correlation coefficient between the annual returns on the S&P 500 and the hedge fund in the same year is zero, but Greta is not fully convinced by this claim.

A conventional activated-sludge plant treats 10.0 MGD of municipal wastewater with a BOD concentration of 240 mg/l and suspended solids of 200 mg/l. The sludge flow pattern is shown in Figure 11-1 of the textbook with a gravity belt thickener to concentrate the excess activated sludge. Primary and thickened activated sludge are pumped separately to the anaerobic digester. The primary clarifier removes 50% of the suspended solids and 35% of the BOD. The primary sludge solids content is 4.0%. The operating F/M ratio for the activated-sludge process is 0.3 lb BOD per day per pound of MLSS. The solids content of the waste sludge removed from the secondary clarifier is 16,000 mg/l; the gravity belt thickening captures 95% of the solids in the sludge and increases the solids content of the thickened sludge to 7%. Calculate: a) Flow rate of primary sludge, in gals/day b) Flow rate of thickened secondary sludge, gals/day. c) Flow rate and solids concentration of the blended sludge

(3) A family owns a restaurant that has two locations: one in the town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky and the other in the town of Deer Lick, Kentucky. The owners of the restaurants want to know if there is a difference in the tenure of their employees (how long an employee works there from hiring to quitting / firing) between the two locations. They collect the following data on the tenure of six recent employees. The data is the number of years the employee worked at that location.

• (a) Make a Q-Q plot for the Rabit Hash location.
• (b) Estimate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the median tenure between the two locations.
• (c) Using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, determine if there is a difference in the tenure between the two locations. Use a fixed type I error rate of 0.10.
• (d) What is the level of significance of the test that you conducted in part (c).
