问题如下:
If the return on a stock, R, is normally distributed with a daily mean of 8%/252 and a daily variance of , find the values where
a. Pr(R < r) = .001
b. Pr(R < r) = .01
c. Pr(R < r) = .05
选项:
解释:
a. The mean is 0.031% per day and the variance is 1.58 per day (so that the standard deviation is 1.26% per day). To find these values, we transform the variable to be standard normal, so that
The value for the standard normal is -3.09
(NORM.S.INV(0.001) in Excel) so that .
b. The same idea an be used here where z = -2.32 so that Pr(Z < z) = .01. Transforming this value, .
c. Here the value of z is -1.645 so that .
These are all common VaR quan-tiles and suggest that there is a 5% chance that the return would be less than -2.04% on any given day, a 1% change that it would be less than -2.89%, and a one in 1,000 chance that the return would be less than -3.86%, if returns were normally distributed.
老师,这道题你解释了,但是我没有理解,请详细解释下这套题的分析过程。
