1. ### P1.T2.300. Probability functions (Miller)

Hi @viacheslav_trefilin yes you are exactly correct, it is a typo that somebody already caught on this thread but didn't ripple to the PDF. My apology. There is no need to further integrate the CDF. The answer is given in the source correctly (above) as emphasis mine:

3. ### Question 202.2: Variance of sum of random variables

Hi asocialnot, Great question. Because 202.2 is looking for the variance of the sum of three random variables, each with its own distributional parameters. Your formula above, indeed works, but for each of the random variables itself. For example, the first bond has PD = 4% and, as it is a Bernoulli, we know the variance = 96%*4% = 3.840%. Consistent with the worked solution, then: Variance...

4. ### P1.T2.202. Variance of sum of random variables

David, please ignore me. I figured it out - the beta is between G and the portfolio and not G with S so I worked out part of the covariance but not the full covariance. I now understand the formula you have used. Sorry for the trouble.

5. ### P1.T2.310. Probability Distributions II, Miller Chapter 4

Hi @sandra1122 We are told that E(A) = +10% and E(B) = +20%, so the null is an expected difference of 10% = E[µ(A) -µ(B)] = µ[difference] = +10%. And we are looking for the probability that we observe a difference of 18.0%, so we want Pr[observed - µ[diff]/σ. Thanks,

6. ### P1.T2.209 T-statistic and confidence interval

Hi @sandra1122 In a word, yes. The Bernoulli is a highly likely exam candidate because it characterizes default (i.e., either survive or default) and also VaR exceedence (on a given day, the VaR is either exceeded or not). Importantly, a series of i.i.d. Bernoulli variables (succeed/fail) characterizes the binomial distribution. The exam will also expect you to know the variance of a Bernoulli...

7. ### P1.T2.312. Mixture distributions

Just to add a few more thoughts, the exam "could" ask you to use an obscure level of significance which would require you to retrieve a value from a z table. If this was the case, the exam would provide a snippet of the respective region of the z table. (I would add that this is a totally reasonable question in my mind). Also, memorizing the most common z's will help you but I don't think...

11. ### P1.T2.301. Miller's probability matrix

For working out mean of f(x), we integrate xf(x) instead of just integrating f(x) like the green statement above. Integrating xf(x) is just integrating x*f(x), i.e. you have another x, so not tricky to do as you know how to solve the green statement above after integrating xf(x), you can solve it by putting x = 6.

@Deepak Chitnis and @David Harper CFA FRM CIPM thanks for your replies...I will make sure I keep a special eye out as to whether the question mentions simple vs LN returns. If the question mentions neither, I think I shall plumb for the LN option as that just feels more "right" to me. But hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.

28. ### Q 206: Variance of sample average

Yes, only because we are concerned with the (sample) distribution of an AVERAGE return over 5 years. This variable itself (an average of 5 variables) has a standard deviation called the sample average (If you have Hull, it is really the same as his Example 14.3 in Chapter 5), thanks

29. ### P1.T2.204. Joint, marginal, and conditional probability functions (Stock & Watson)

Hi Melody (@superpocoyo ) Here is the spreadsheet @ Please note that, in my response to mastvikas above, I had a typo which I've now corrected. It should read: (10 - 29.38)^2*(0.05/.32) = 58.65 105.859 is the conditional variance which determines the answer of 10.3 (the conditional standard deviation). I think the key here is to realize that, after we grok the conditionality, we are...
