risks that are unlikely to be realized but carry high costs. Worker's compensation insurance provides for the cost of medical care, rehabilitation, and other related expenses for injured workers. In a given year, most workers will not have any work injury, some will have minor injuries, and a few will die or become permanently disabled. Insurance spreads the risk: We all pay a small amount, and the insurance policy pays a large amount to these few extreme claims. The National Academy of Social Insurance reports that the mean worker's compensation claim cost in a year is $\mu$ = $439 per covered worker. An insurance company plans to sell worker's compensation insurance for $439 plus enough to cover its administrative costs and profit. Explain clearly why it would be unwise to sell only 12 policies. Then explain why selling thousands of such policies is a safe business.

[IN2H1] Let f(x) be a continuous function defined for all real numbers. In this problem, you will express the integral of f over -3 to 7 as a limit of Riemann sums. (a) What is the quantity Δx? (b) What are the endpoints x_(k) of the subintervals x_(k-1), x_(k)? Be sure to include the allowed values of k. (c) Use sigma notation to express the Riemann sum for f over -3 to 7 with n subintervals and sample point x_(k)** taken to be right endpoints of each subinterval. (d) Express ∫(-3)^(7) f(x) dx as a limit of Riemann sums. You do not need to find the value of the limit.

HW Solver This homework lets you find some minimum variance portfolios and plot them to get the minimum variance frontier. Everyone will use a different set of inputs, so the output will differ from person to person. 0. Write down the last 6 digits of your B number. My B number is B00880639, so the last 6 digits are 880639. Modify the inputs with the information from your B number to get your personalized inputs. In the next steps, work with your personalized inputs. There are 3 risky assets. The expected return vector is ([0.1],[0.15],[0.25]). The covariance matrix is: If the last 6 digits of your B number are uvwxyz, where each letter represents one digit, then modify the expected return vector and the covariance matrix as: ([0.1+0.1u, 0.15+0.1v, 0.25+0.1w], [0.04+0.01x, 0.02, 0.015], [0.02, 0.06+0.01y, 0.025], [0.015, 0.025, 0.1+0.01z]) These are your personalized inputs. Using Solver in Excel to find 10 minimum variance portfolios. Record their standard deviations and expected returns. The expected returns are equally spaced and are either increasing or decreasing. The 10 portfolios include both efficient ones and inefficient ones. Using Solver to find the global minimum variance portfolio, and record its standard deviation and expected return. Add this point to the graph. Add the original 3 assets (their standard deviations and expected returns) as 3 points to the graph.
