“Once we know how to value options on a stock paying a dividend yield, we know how to
value options on stock indices and currencies.” Explain this statement.
17.3
A stock index is currently 300, the dividend yield on the index is 3% per annum, and the
risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum. What is a lower bound for the price of a sixmonth European call option on the index when the strike price is 290?
17.7
Calculate the value of an eight-month European put option on a currency with a strike
price of 0.50. The current exchange rate is 0.52, the volatility of the exchange rate is 12%,
the domestic risk-free interest rate is 4% per annum, and the foreign risk-free interest
rate is 8% per annum.
17.10
Consider a stock index currently standing at 250. The dividend yield on the index is 4%
per annum, and the risk-free rate is 6% per annum. A three-month European call option
on the index with a strike price of 245 is currently worth $10. What is the value of a
three-month put option on the index with a strike price of 245?
17.11
An index currently stands at 696 and has a volatility of 30% per annum. The risk-free
rate of interest is 7% per annum and the index provides a dividend yield of 4% per
annum. Calculate the value of a three-month European put with an exercise price of 700.
18.1
Explain the difference between a call option on yen and a call option on yen futures.
18.14
A futures price is currently 25, its volatility is 30% per annum, and the risk-free interest
rate is 10% per annum. What is the value of a nine-month European call on the futures
with a strike price of 26?
18.15
A futures price is currently 70, its volatility is 20% per annum, and the risk-free interest
rate is 6% per annum. What is the value of a five-month European put on the futures with
a strike price of 65

A data exploration report describes the results of your data exploration, including first findings or initial hypotheses, and their impact on the remainder of the project. Include the relevant measures, visualizations, and statistics in this report that are needed for all univariate and bivariate analyses.

Data Source: Tweets

Requirements:

• Using Tableau (and Excel if needed), conduct exploratory data analysis to complete the Data Exploration Report report as demonstrated in the Chapter 5 MyEducator videos and in class
• For your Tableau workbook, select the “Extract” option for the connection
• The Label: use RetweetCount as your label
• The Features:
  • Include all features in the data set EXCEPT Day, StateCode, City, and text
  • For Country, State:
    • Choose only one of these location features. No need to analyze both of them for this assignment
    • Also, just select 4 or 5 of the most common values for the ANOVA (for example, choose either the 4 or 5 most common states OR countries).
  • For Language: just select the 4 or 5 most common values for the ANOVA

Get Involved! Volunteer Your Time

(20 points)

In this activity, you will choose a way to volunteer your time to improve your community, do some volunteer work, and then write about the results.

1. Choose a way to help.

Decide how you want to help your community. Think about what matters most to you. Is it helping the poor? Or maybe you want to help support an important political cause that interests you. Do you belong to a religious or ethnic group that could use help in the community?

Make a list of the groups or organizations that interest you personally:

1.

2.

3.

2. Figure out your special talent.

How can you help? Are you a talented artist? Maybe you could help print signs for a rally or paint a mural at your community center. Do you make the best pancakes in the world? Volunteer to organize a pancake breakfast at your YMCA or place of worship. Whatever it is that you’re best at, figure out a way to use that talent to help the group or organization you’re interested in.

Make a list of your particular talents and think about how you can use them in your volunteer work:

3. Make contact.

Contact the group you intend to help and discuss your plan. Ask any questions you may have about the group’s operations, or about the process you would need to follow as a volunteer. Find out if there are certain times when you may be more needed than others, and try to make yourself available.

4. Make a difference.

Get out there and help! Now that you’ve figured out who to help and how to do it, it’s time to make it happen! Set aside some time after school or during the weekend to put your volunteer work into action. As you work, pay attention to how you interact with the organization you’re working for, the other volunteers you’re working with, and any members of the community you interact with as you work.

Make a list of the names of some of the people you meet while volunteering. Are they coworkers, bosses, or people from the community?

Consider flag burning as an expression of free speech and post your response to the following questions.

1. Do you think flag burning should be protected as free speech under the First Amendment? Why or why not?
2. Whether you are for or against an individual’s right to burn the flag, do you think an amendment to the Constitution to prohibit flag burning would be ratified by the states? Why or why not?

.What is VIF test used for?

2.When should we use a Poisson regression?

3.When should we use mixed-effects model?

4.What estimator and statistical test should you use to test if survival curves of two groups are significantly different from each other?

5.Explain what an interaction is.

6.Explain why a test with 100% specificity might not be a perfect test (or might not even be a good test).

7.Give an example of interval-censored observation in survival analysis.

8.How many dummy variables you would need to include in the regression analysis to represent a variable with k categories?

The Dillon’s Rule versus Home Rule Debate centers around cost/ benefits surrounding the standardization that comes from the centralized control of Dillon’s Rule and the creative freedom to act independently to address needs on the local level.

In 2-3 page paper, APA 6th Edition, students will be expected to:

1. Select a problem persistent to local metropolitan areas;
2. Describe the circumstances, the actors and community interests involved (these include both public, private, and non-profit);
3. State a possible solution to the problem (either proposed or already implemented) and how it affects the various elements described in question 2;
4. Compare how your solution to the problem would work in a Home Rule and a Dillon’s Rule city? (You should have a scenario for each.)
5. Briefly explain why you think so.

1. You have been tasked with creating a database solution for a local library. This database will be used to keep information about the books owned by the library and which books are checked out by customers. You are given the following information:
   • The database will need to store information about books, authors, and customers.
   • Books can have multiple authors. Authors can write multiple books. Customers can check out any number of books they wish.
   • Book information includes title, author, year of release, number of pages, genre, location (in library, checked out).
   • Author information includes name.
   • Customer information includes name, age, phone number, join date, books checked out.

Instructions:

• With the selected scenario in mind, create an ERD Diagram showing the tables and fields needed. Be sure to identify and keys or constraints. (40 points)
• Write a brief prompt discussing the design considerations of your database solution. (40 points)
• Write SQL statements that will produce the tables and columns identified in your ERD Diagram. (40 points)
• Write SQL statements that will populate at least 5 records in each of your tables. (20 points)
• Write SQL statements to perform the following (Assume the records and counts your return should be unique. (Feel free to use more keywords/functions than those listed):
  • Produce a list of fields using SELECT and WHERE statements. (2 points)
  • Produce a list of fields using SELECT and ORDER BY statements. (2 points)
  • Produce a list of fields using SELECT and GROUP BY statements. (2 points)
  • Craft a query that returns a count and a customer/player name (10 points)
  • Modify values in the age field to increment by 1. (10 points)
  • Add a column to your database. Remove the column from your database. (2 points)
