Compare the risk and return of this portfolio with the risks and returns associated with investing everything in either X or Y. a. What is Pxy? b. What is the expected return of the portfolio |(.7K+.3v)? c. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio |(0,7x+.3Y)? d. How does the standard deviation of the portfolio |(0,7x+.3y) compare to the standard deviations of assets X and Y?

Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)

A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.23. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 24 servings has a variance of 1.27. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim?

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…
