打开 →Without common random numbers, two independent estimators have standard deviations 4 and 5, so the variance of their difference would be 4^2+5^2. With pairing, the observed paired-difference standard deviation is 3. What fraction of the unpaired difference variance remains?
打开 →What is Var(2W_1 - W_4)?
打开 →A point is chosen uniformly from the unit disk. Let $X$ be its $x$-coordinate. Compute $\operatorname{Var}(X)$.
打开 →Five models each have variance 1.6 and pairwise correlation 0.4. What is the variance of their equal-weight average?
打开 →Trades hit a tape as a Poisson process with rate 6 per hour. Let $N$ be the number of trades in a fixed 20-minute window. What is $\mathrm{Var}(N)$?
打开 →Define B_t = W_{4t} / 2. What is Var(B_3)?

打开 →Suppose B trees each have variance sigma^2 and every pair has correlation rho. Derive the variance of their simple average.
打开 →Five base models each have prediction variance 4, and every pair of model predictions has correlation 0.25. If you average the five predictions equally, what is the ensemble variance?
打开 →Continuing from the setup of the expected collision-pair count: $n$ people have independent uniform birthdays on $\{1,\ldots,d\}$. Define $X = \sum_{i<j} \mathbf{1}[B_i = B_j]$. (a) Compute $\operatorname{Var}(X)$. (b) A surprising intermediate step: show that $\operatorname{Co
打开 →Stickers come in 4 equally likely types, independent across packs. Let $T$ be the number of packs you open until you have collected all 4 types. Compute $\operatorname{Var}(T)$.
打开 →Out of $n=10$ resting quotes, each fills independently with probability $0.3$, so the number of fills $N$ is Binomial$(10,0.3)$. Each fill produces an i.i.d. PnL $X_i$ with $E[X_i]=2$ and $\mathrm{Var}(X_i)=9$, independent of which quotes fill. For the stopped sum $S_N=\sum_{i=1}
打开 →What is Var((W_1 + W_2 + W_3)/3)?
打开 →4 balls are thrown independently and uniformly into 6 boxes. Let $D$ be the number of boxes that receive at least one ball. Compute $\operatorname{Var}(D)$.
打开 →Packets arrive at a sensor as a Poisson process with rate 2 per minute. Let $T_4$ be the time of the 4th packet. What is $\mathrm{Var}(T_4)$, in minutes squared?
打开 →Four distinguishable balls are thrown independently and uniformly at random into 3 distinguishable urns. Let $N$ be the number of nonempty urns. Find $\text{Var}(N)$. Give an exact fraction.
打开 →Independent Bernoulli trials succeed with probability $\frac{2}{5}$. Let $T$ be the first time the cumulative number of successes reaches 5. Use Wald-style second-moment reasoning to compute $\mathrm{Var}(T)$.
打开 →What is Var(W_5 - 0.5W_2)?
打开 →Let a branching process have offspring mean $m$ and variance $\sigma^2$. Show that \[ \mathrm{Var}(Z_{n+1})=m^2\mathrm{Var}(Z_n)+\sigma^2 E[Z_n]. \]
打开 →A simplified volatility contract settles on annualized variance difference notional × (implied_vol^2 - realized_vol^2). If implied volatility was 0.26 and realized volatility turned out to be 0.19, what is the signed variance gap and the contract PnL on notional 2,000,000? Which
打开 →A mean-reverting stochastic-vol model has mean-reversion speed kappa = 1.5. What is the half-life of a variance shock?
打开 →A variance swap is quoted with a variance notional of 5,000 per variance point (where a variance point is one unit of 100*sigma^2, i.e. payoff = VarNotional * (10000*sigma_realized^2 - 10000*K_vol^2)). The volatility strike is K_vol = 0.20 and realized annualized volatility over

打开 →Why does a capped variance swap usually trade cheaper than an uncapped one with the same strike?
打开 →A quarter has only two very large overnight gap moves and otherwise tiny close-to-close returns. Why can realized variance still end up far above what a smooth diffusion intuition would suggest?
打开 →Two one-year equity option surfaces have the same ATM implied volatility, but Surface B has much more expensive downside puts than Surface A. Why can Surface B still imply a meaningfully higher fair variance-swap strike?
打开 →Let $N \sim \operatorname{Geometric}(1/2)$ (so $P(N = k) = (1/2)^k$ for $k = 1, 2, \ldots$) and, given $N$, let $X_1, \ldots, X_N$ be i.i.d.\ $\operatorname{Exp}(1)$. Set $S = X_1 + \cdots + X_N$. Using the law of total expectation and Eve's law, find $E[S]$ and $\operatorname{Va
