In a market in which the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) model holds, the expected return is given by E[R].
Acompanysellinglicensesofnewe-commercesoftwareadvertisedthatfirmsusingthissoftware could obtain, on average during the first year, a minimum yield (in cost savings) of 20 percent on average on their software investment. To disprove the claim, we checked with 10 different firms which used the software. These firms reported the following cost-saving yields (in percent) during the first year of their operations: {17.0, 19.2, 21.5, 18.6, 22.1, 14.9, 18.4, 20.1, 19.4, 18.9}. Do we have significant evidence to show that the software company’s claim of a minimum of 20 percent in cost savings was not valid? Test using α = 0.05. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the average cost-saving yield estimate.

Determine a casino's expected net income from a 24-hour period at a single roulette table if the casino's total overhead for the table is $40 per hour and if customers place a total of $8,000 on single-number bets, $2,000 on three-number bets, $4,000 on five-number bets, $4,000 on twelve-number bets, $8,000 on even-number bets, and $9,000 on black-number bets. (Assume the expected value of the $1 five-number bet in roulette is −$0.079 and the expected value of all other $1 bets is −$0.053.)

Federated South Insurance Company has developed a new screening program for selecting new sales agents. Their past experience indicates that 20% of the new agents hired fail to produce the minimum sales in their first year and are dismissed. Their expectation is that this new screening program will reduce the percentage of failed new agents to 15% or less. If that occurs, they would save $1,000,000 in recruiting and training costs each year. At the end of the first year they want to develop an evaluation to determine if the new program is successful. The following questions are an important part of their research design.A total of 20 new agents were selected.a. If this group performs at the same level as past groups, what is the probability 17 or more successfully meet their minimum sales goals in the first year?b. What is the probability 19 or more reach their minimum sales goals given performance at the same level?c. If the program has actually increased the probability of success to…

(Assume the expected value of each of these $1 bets in roulette is −$0.053.)
Suppose that a life insurance company insures 900,000 fifty-year-old people in a given year. (Assume a death rate of 8 per 1000 people.) The cost of the premium is $500 per year, and the death benefit is $45,000. What is the expected profit or loss for the insurance company?

John Clinton owns his own Gno-Cone business and lives 30 miles from a beach resort. The sale of Gno-Cones is highly dependent upon his location and upon the weather. At the resort, he will profit $120 per day in fair weather, $10 per day in bad weather. At home, he will profit $70 in fair weather, $55 in bad weather. Assume that on any particular day, the weather service suggests a 40% chance of foul weather. What decision is recommended by the expected monetary value criterion? [Hint: Use decision tree approach]
