Question

A company knows that the monthly average of licenses submitted during a year by its workers is 6.6, with a deviation of 1.4. With this information, the human resources department believes it can make a projection for the year following. Calculate the probability that the number of licenses for the following year is between 10 and 15. * You must associate the resolution of the exercise with a continuous distribution function.

First, convert \(X\) to the standard normal variable \(Z\) using the formula:
Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

For \(X = 10\):

Z = \frac{10 - 6.6}{1.4} \approx 2.43

For \(X = 15\):

Z = \frac{15 - 6.6}{1.4} \approx 6

Now, we need to find the probability for \(Z\) between these values:

P(2.43 \leq Z \leq 6)

Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator, we find:

P(Z \leq 6) \approx 1

P(Z \geq 2.43) \approx 0.9925

Thus, the probability is:

P(2.43 \leq Z \leq 6) = P(Z \leq 6) - P(Z \geq 2.43)

P(2.43 \leq Z \leq 6) = 1 - 0.9925 = 0.0075

Therefore, the probability that the number of licenses for the following year is between 10 and 15 is:

\boxed{0.0075}

A mutual fund manager has a $350 million portfolio with a beta of 1.10. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio’s risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio’s required return will be 9.20%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio’s beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?
