A game of chance offers the following odds and payoffs:
Probability Payoff
0.2 $500
0.4 100
0.4 0
a) What is the expected cash payoff?
b) Suppose each play of the game costs $100. What is the expected rate of return?
c) What is the variance of the expected returns?
d) What is the standard deviation of the expected returns?

A stock (S) has an expected return of 15% and standard deviation of 5%. A bond (B) has an expected return of 10% and standard deviation of 2%. Correlation coefficient between S and B is 0.2. An investor wants to allocate 25% of her portfolio to S and the remainder of her portfolio to B. What is the expected return and variance of this portfolio?

Consider the discrete-time filter defined by h = fir1(40,0.2). The coefficients h represent a 40th order filter, with a corner frequency of 0.2 times the Nyquist frequency. Use Matlab help on fir1 to learn more about this command. Plot the frequency response of the filter h using the command freqz. Include this plot in your report.

The nicotine content in a single cigarette of a particular brand
is a random variable having a probability distribution with a mean
of 4.9 milligrams (mgs) and a standard deviation of 0.2 mg. n = 100
of these cigarettes are chosen at random and the nicotine content
of each cigarette is measured.
What is the probability that the mean nicotine content of this
sample is between 4.87 mgs to 4.96 mgs?
