Suppose that you enter a fantasy baseball league. Suppose that the 2021 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval , where the unit is U.S. million dollars. In addition, suppose that after the value has been observed , the 2022 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval . In other words, the 2022 budget is at most as large as the 2021 budget. a) For any given value of x(50<x<350), obtain E[Y|X=x] b) In view of part (a), obtain E[Y|X] c) Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series title. Their estimated 2022 payroll is about $130 million. Would your 2022 fantasy baseball budget be on average larger than their 2022 payroll? Explain briefly.

Suppose that the lifetime in years, X, of a type of electrical switch follows the distribution f(x)=12e−x2f(x)=12e−x2for x>0x>0. What type of continuous distribution is this and what is the average lifetime of one of these switches?
A company has 9000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 18,050 thousandths of a minute. Let the random variable x represent the number of such Internet traffic arrivals in one thousandth of a minute. It appears that these Internet arrivals have a Poisson distribution. If we want to use the formula P(x)= (μ^x • e^−μ) / x! to find the probability of exactly 2 arrivals in one thousandth of a minute, what are the values of μ, x, and e that would be used in that formula?

Consider two securities, the first having μ1 = 1 and σ1 = 0.1, and the secondhaving μ2 = 0.8 and σ2 = 0.12. Suppose that they are negatively correlated,with ρ = −0.8. Denote the expected return and its standard deviation as functions of π byμ(π ) and σ (π ). The pair (μ(π ), σ (π )) trace out a curve in the plane as πvaries from 0 to 1. Plot this curve in R.

A real estate agent believes that the value of houses in the neighborhood she works in has increased from last year. To test this claim, she selects random houses in this neighborhood and compares their estimated market value in the current year to their estimated market value in the previous year. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 8 houses, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the market value of the previous year from the market value of the current year. Assume that the values are normally distributed. The agent uses the alternative hypothesis Ha:μd>0. Using a test statistic of t≈7.496, which has 7 degrees of freedom, determine the range that contains the p-value.
