Questions 1:

An analyst applies four valuation screens to a set of potential investments. The screens are independent of each other.

quantity exercise:Mean value of standard error samples

If there are 1,200 potential investments, the number expected to simultaneously pass all four screens is closest to:

A、 360.

B、 97.

C、 42.

Questions 2: 

An analyst gathered the following information about a stock index:

quantity exercise:Mean value of standard error samples

If the analyst takes a sample of 36 companies from the index, the standard error of the sample mean is closest to:

A、 $400,000.

B、 $533,333.

C 、$88,889.

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. As the screens are independent, the probability of passing all four simultaneously is the product of their respective probabilities:

 P(ABCD) = P(A)P(B)P(C)P(D) where 

P(A) = 0.65 and is the probability of passing valuation screen 1 

P(B) = 0.45 and is the probability of passing valuation screen 2

 P(C) = 0.40 and is the probability of passing valuation screen 3 

P(D) = 0.30 and is the probability of passing valuation screen 4

 P(ABCD) = 0.65 × 0.45 × 0.40 × 0.30 = 0.0351. 

Given 1,200 potential investments, approximately 1,200 × 0.0351 = 42.12 ~ 42 will pass the screens. 

A is incorrect. It uses only the smallest of the given probabilities as in 1,200 × 0.30 = 360. 

B is incorrect. It subtracts the given probabilities from 1.00 and uses the product of these values: [(1 – 0.65) × (1 – 0.45) × (1 – 0.40) × (1 – 0.30)] × 1,200 = (0.35 × 0.55 × 0.60 × 0.70) × 1,200 = 0.08085 × 1,200 = 97.02 ~ 97.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The standard error of the sample mean is equal to the population standard deviation (σ) divided by the square root of the number of observations in the sample (n):

C is incorrect. It uses the following formula: $3,200,000/36 = $88,889.

成功=时间+方法,自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才,高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩,其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信,每天都在勤奋练习,即使是一点点的进步,大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。
