9. Which of the following 4 statements is FALSE?

	If X~Y (i.e. X and Y have the same distribution), then they have a correlation of 1
	If X and Y are independent, they have a correlation of 0
	If X and Y have a correlation of 0, and Y and Z have a correlation of 1, then X and Z have correlation of 0

	Two or more of the above are true

11. Which of the following 4 statements is FALSE?

	The Normal distribution has mean, median, and mode all equal to μ
	A Normal random variable with a larger variance has a smaller maximum height of its pdf
	Approximately 95% of the area under the Standard Normal pdf is between -1 and 1
	The cdf F(x) of a Normal random variable is strictly increasing for all Real values of x
	Two or more of the above are false

12. The return on stock X has mean 5 and standard deviation 3. The return on stock Y has mean 8 and standard deviation 10. The standard deviation of an equal portfolio of the two stocks (that is, 0.5X + 0.5Y) is 24.25. What is the correlation between X and Y?

Answer 1

Answer 1st

Option b

Each outcome of set comes atmost once

Answer 2 option D

There are 6 outcomes that both ends are A , 6 outcomes that both ends are B and 2 outcomes that both ends are C

So total 14 outcome are there when both ends have same lettet out of total 40320 outcome which is 8!

So probability= (40320-14)/ 40320 is 99%

So option D is answer

Answer 3 I don't know

Answer 4

For 2 people = (1/5)*(1/5)=0.04

For 3 people (1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)= 0.008

So total 0.048 is answer

Answer 5

C has probability of mistake as 10%of 0.20

Tht is 0.02 option a
