Suppose that the value of US dollar rising against the Japanese yen in a given week has a 50-50 chance. Assume that the weekly movement of the two currencies is independent over the next week. What is the probability that the value of the US dollar will rise against the Japanese yen in the majority of weeks in the next seven week period?
When is the sample mean normally distributed? (5 marks)
1.Let X be a random variable such that
P(X= -2)= P(X= -1), P(X= 2)= P(X= 1) and
P(X> 0)=P(X< 0)= P(X= 0).
Obtain the probability mass function of X and its distribution function.
2.A.random variable X assumes the values -3, -2, -1,0, 1,~, 3 such that
P(X= -3)= P(x= -2)= P(X= -1),
P(X= 1)= P(X= 2)= P(X= 3),
and P ( X= 0) = P ( X > 0) = P ( X < 0),
Obtain the probability mass function of X and 'its distribution function, and find
further the probability mass function of Y = 2X^2 + 3X + 4.

(a) A random variable X has the following probability function

.x : -2 -1 0 1 2 3

p(x): 0.1 k 0·2 2k 0·3 k

(i) Find the value of k. and calculate mean and variance.

(ii) construct the cumulative distribution function c.d.f F(x) and draw its graph.

ATM machines have made it easier and faster for customers to check account balances, transfer money, and obtain cash. Many banks are now considering the next generation of ATM machines, which will feature news headlines, full-motion video, and tickets to events. In a random sample of 500 customers, 280 said ATM machines should offer postage stamps. (20 marks)
a. Find the sample proportion of customers who believe ATM machines should offer postage stamps.
b. Find a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of customers who believe ATM machines should offer postage stamps.
c. A bank official claims the proportion of customers who believe ATM machines should offer postage stamps is 0.60. Is there any evidence to refute this claim? Test at the 5% level
d. If you test at the 1% level, what would be your decision?
