The total interest at the end of one year was $\$ 405 .$ You invested $\$ 500$ more at 10$\%$ than at 8$\%$ . How much did you invest in the 10$\%$ fund? $\begin{array}{ll}{\text { A } \$ 150} & {\text { B } \$ 1000}\end{array}$ C $\$ 1500 \quad$ D $\$ 2500$

Day trading An option to buy a stock is priced at $\$ 200$ . If the stock closes above 30 on May $15,$ the option will be worth $\$ 1000$ . If it closes below 20 , the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30 (inclusively), the option will be worth $\$ 200$ . A trader thinks there is a 50$\%$ chance that the stock will close in the $20-30$ range, a 20$\%$ chance that it will close above 30 , and a 30$\%$ chance that it will fall below 20 on May 15 . a) Should she buy the stock option? b) How much does she expect to gain? c) What is the standard deviation of her gain?
