As the alternative mean approaches the hypothesized mean, what can we say about the risk?

Smaller risk of a Type II error
Greater risk of a Type II error
Smaller risk of a Type I error

Chances are 50-50 that a newborn baby will be a girl. For families with five children, what is the probability that all the children are girls?

0.100
None of these answers
0.250
0.001
0.031

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

This is a binomial probability. The probability of getting r successes out of n trials where the probability of success each trial is p and probability of failure each trial is q (where q = 1-p) is given by: n!(p^r)[q^(n-r)]/r!(n-r)!.
Here n = 5, r = 5,p = 0.5 and q = 0.5. Therefore we have 5!(0.5^5)(0.5^0)/5!0! = 0.03125.

QUESTION: 1036

You are given a risk-free rate of 5% per year, a portfolio return of 15% per year, and a standard deviation of portfolio return of 16% per year. What is the Sharpe measure of risk-adjusted performance?

0.625.
0.675.
0.500.
0.750.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Sharpe measure of risk-adjusted performance is equal to (rbar_p - rbar_f)/sigma_p, where rbar_p is the mean portfolio return, rbar_f is the mean risk-free return, and sigma_p is the standard deviation of portfolio return. In our case, we have (15% - 5%) / 16% = 10/16 = 5/8 = 0.625.
