A firm purchases two types of industrial chemicals. Type I chemical costs $3 per gallon,
whereas type II costs $5 per gallon. The mean and variance for the number of gallons of type
I chemical purchased, Y,, are 40 and 4, respectively. The amount of type II chemical
purchased, Y2, has E(Y2) = 65 gallons and V(Y2) = 8. Assume that Y, and Y2 are independent
and find the mean and variance of the total amount of money spent per week on the two
chemicals.
b. Find the least-squares curve of the form above to fit the data (5,1.54), (7,2.02), (9,2.5), (11,2.8), (13,3.2), (15,3.5), (17,3.8), and (19,4.32), where x and y represent sales and costs in
thousands. Produce a graph that shows the data points and the graph of the cubic approximation.

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.
