How is it that a logistic regression is able to use a logistic curve, which is non-linear in probabilities, in order to estimate a linear relationship between two variables? What problem will occur in our estimates if we were to run an OLS regression on data that requires a logistic regression model?

A financial institution owns a portfolio of options dependent on the US dollar-sterling exchange rate. The delta of the portfolio with respect to percentage changes in the exchange rate is 8.7. If the daily volatility of the exchange rate is 0.6% and a linear model is assumed, calculate the estimated 10-day 95% VaR for the portfolio.
