Weekly downtime of internet services from an internet service provider (in hours) has expected value 0.5 and variance 0.25. Based on past experience, the data scientist of a retailer store has calculated the loss function to the store from the downtime as C=30X+2X2 where X is the amount of weekly downtime and C is cost. Find the Expected cost, i.e, E(C).

The correlation coefficient between the yearly returns of two mutual funds is 0.20. What does that mean about the strength and direction of the linear relationship between the returns of the two funds?
A finance analyzer have come to the conclusion that he wants to purchase stocks from Company A, with an expected yield of E(X) = 4% and variance to the yield being V(X) = 0.49. Another stock from another Company B have an expected yield of E(Y) = 6% and variance V(Y) = 0.64. The correlation of the yield between the two stocks is p(X,Y) = 0.3. The finance analyzer wants to invest a portion p(0 < p < 1) into Company A stocks, and the rest (1 - p) into company B stocks. The combined investment have a yield of W = pX + ( 1 - p)Y. For p = 0.4, such that W = 0.4X + 0.6Y. What is the expected value and variance for W.

Clearly describe the advantages of portfolio diversification. Suppose, the rates of return on two stocks X and Y are normally distributed as x = N (10%, 9%) and y = N (10%, 16%). Assuming that the variance of the diversified portfolio (that has both stocks X and Y) is V = 6.26 + 6c where c is the correlation between x and y, calculate the maximum value of c beyond which portfolio diversification is not helpful.
