You have a total of 4 investments to make of 100 dollars. You can either invest in a stock which if it goes up in value, you gain an additional 100 dollars, if it goes down, you lose 50 dollars. Or you can bet on whether the stock will go up or down at the casino, where you either win 100 if you're right or lose everything if not. Can you devise a strategy where you will always make a profit?
A game where two players each throw two dice each. If any one die matches the other, you win a dollar. If there is no match, you lose a dollar. Would you play this game or not and why?
1. How do you simulate stock price with VBA? 2. Std.=? 3. VaR=? 4. Three doors, it takes you 1 minute to go through the first door, it also takes you 1 minute to go through the second door, it make your speed slow down 1/2 after going through third door. Only the first door is the right way to go out. You choose each door with the equal probability. How much time will you go out in expectation? 5. You have n 1-meter long ropes, and you could connect two nodes together n-1 times. What is the probability for you to finally get a whole n-meter long rope without rings?
Roll a six-sided die, if I get a larger number than the opponent, I get $1. What's the expected winning?
Expected length of the longest segment of a unit-length stick broken in 2 places.
(Round 2) Suppose two players play a game where Player A, then Player B, picks an integer between 1 and 30. Then, a thirty-sided die is rolled. Whoever guessed closer to the value of the roll obtains an amount of money equal to the value of the roll from the other player. Given the choice, do you decide to go first or second? What number do you choose? What is the expected value of this position?
