A model for the movement of a stock supposes that if the present price of the stock is s, then, after one period, it will be eit

her us with probability p or ds with probability 1 − p. Assuming that suc- cessive movements are independent, approximate the probability that the stock’s price will be up at least 30 percent after the next 1000 periods if u = 1.012,d = 0.990, and p = .52.

Answer:

P(X\geq 470)=0.9991

Step-by-step explanation:

Present price of stock is s, if x is the times that the stock increases (by u) among the 1000 periods we can calculate the price after 1000 periods as follows:

s*u^n*d^{(1000-x)} note that if the price increase n periods, so it should decreases in the other 1000-x periods.

We need that the price be 30% higher or 1.3 times the initial price. That requirement is expressed as follows:

s*u^n*d^{(1000-x)}>1.3s

applying properties of exponents and reorganizing.

d^{1000}(\frac{u}{d})^x>1.3

solving for x

1000 log(d)+ x log (\frac{u}{d})>log(1.3)

x >\frac{log(1.3)-1000 log(d)}{log (\frac{u}{d})}

Using the values given d= 0.99 and u=1.012

x > 469.208967

So, we need at least 470 increase periods

Now we can calculate the probability of have 470 increase periods or more, taking into account that the distribution of x is binomial, the period can be and increase period with 0.52 of probability and we have 1000 total trials.

The formula for the binomial cumulative probability function is

F(x;p,n) = \Sigma_0^x \left(\begin{array}{c}n&i\end{array}\right)p^i(1-p)^{n-i}

With this formula we can calculate the probability of obtain x successful trials or less (P(X\leq x)). There, p is the probability of success (probability of increase period in this case), x is the maximum number of successful trials, n the number of total trials.  We should calculate F with x=470, p=0.52 and n= 1000. The result is P(X\leq x), but we need P(X\geq x) so we can calculate that probability as

P(X\geq x)=1-P(X\leq x)

In order to calculate the cumulative function we can use excel function BINOM.DIST

BINOM.DIST(x,trials,probability,cumulative)

BINOM.DIST(470,1000,0.52,TRUE)

We obtain that  P(X\leq 470)=0.00087, so P(X\geq 470)=1-0.00087=0.9991

For what values of x is f(x) = |x + 1| differentiable? I'm struggling my butt off for this course
pav-90 [236]

By definition of absolute value, you have

f(x) = |x+1| = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x+1\ge0 \\ -(x+1)&\text{if }x+1

or more simply,

f(x) = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x\ge-1\\-x-1&\text{if }x

On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.

For <em>x</em> > -1, we have

(<em>x</em> + 1)<em>'</em> = 1

while for <em>x</em> < -1,

(-<em>x</em> - 1)<em>'</em> = -1

More concisely,

f'(x) = \begin{cases}1&\text{if }x>-1\\-1&\text{if }x

Note the strict inequalities in the definition of <em>f '(x)</em>.

In order for <em>f(x)</em> to be differentiable at <em>x</em> = -1, the derivative <em>f '(x)</em> must be continuous at <em>x</em> = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of <em>x</em> = -1 for the derivative do not match:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(-1) = -1

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^+}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}1 = 1

All this to say that <em>f(x)</em> is differentiable everywhere on its domain, <em>except</em> at the point <em>x</em> = -1.
