What is the expected number of hookups a given individual has at once?

There are n people signed up for a dating website.  For every pair of people, the website independently flips a coin that comes up head with probability p. If the coin comes up heads, the website creates a match between this pair of people. (Being a scam, the site does not actually use any specific information about the people in deciding who to hook up.) In this setting, it is perfectly possible that the website randomly creates a love triangle:

three people who are all mutually hooked up.

  1. What is the expected number of hookups a given individual has at once?
  2. What is the probability that a given individual has more than one hookup?
  3. What is the expected number of love triangles on the entire site?

If you buy a British bond, how many calls do you have to buy or sell to construct a risk-free hedge portfolio?

. Consider a call option on the British pound (BP) which represents the right to purchase £1,000 at the strike price of $1.30 per £. The option will expire in one year. The current spot rate is $1.32 per £. In the future, the spot rate may become $1.40 or $1.50 per £. The annual risk-free interest rate is 6.0% in the US and 5% in the UK. A pure-discount British bond, that will pay £1,000 on the maturity date, is selling for £952.38 now.

(a) If you buy a British bond, how many calls do you have to buy or sell to construct a risk-free hedge portfolio? What is the future dollar value of the hedge portfolio? (b) What is the fair price of this call option? (c) Suppose the call is trading for $20 per contract. Show how you can realize arbitrage profit and determine the profit. Assume you buy or sell one unit of British bond.
