Question: You have a small portfolio of 4 zero-coupon bonds. Their rates of return are as follows. 2% 4% 6% 10%

You are sampling from these bonds, using samples with replacement of size 2.

Let p be the proportion of bonds whose rate of return is 6%.

Complete the chart, and then answer the questions. (The chart itself is worth 10 pts.)

  1. Explain why there are 16 samples. (3 pts)
  2. Determine the population mean \(\mu \). (3 pts)
  3. Determine the population proportion p . (3 pts)
  4. Determine the population median. (3 pts)
    For these next three parts, construct the distribution of the estimator using the table, and then
    answer the questions. Make sure you answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to each of them!
  5. Determine the expected value of the sample mean. Does this equal \(\mu \) ? (6 pts)
  6. Determine the expected value of the sample proportion. Does this equal p ?
  7. Determine the expected value of the sample median. Does this equal the population

median? (6 pts)
