Question:
Suppose you hold a stock and are considering whether to sell it or keep it. You initially believe that the probability the stock will rise in value in the long run is 0.7. You decide you will sell the stock when the probability of a long run drop in value reaches 0.5. Then, over the course of time you watch the changes in the value of the stock day today, each day's outcome serving as a forecast of future value. Further, suppose that P(Rise | rise) = 0.6 where RISE indicates a long-run future rise in value and rise indicates an observed daily rise in value. Correspondingly, P(FALL | fall) = 0.6, , where FALL indicates a long-run decline in future values of the stock and fall indicates a daily observed decline in value. Suppose the probability that you misperceive a signal given it contradicts your current belief is q = 0.4. How many daily declines would you need to observe before you would sell the stock according to Rabin and Schrag's model of confirmation bias? What would a Bayesian's beliefs be regarding the probability of a decline at that point? How many daily declines would you need to observe in order to sell if you had perfect perception (q = 0)?

Please accept my enthusiastic application to solutioninn. I would love the opportunity to be a hardworking, passionate member of your tutoring program. As soon as I read the description of the program, I knew I was a well-qualified candidate for the position.
I have extensive tutoring experience in a variety of fields. I have tutored in English as well as Calculus. I have helped students learn to analyze literature, write essays, understand historical events, and graph parabolas. Your program requires that tutors be able to assist students in multiple subjects, and my experience would allow me to do just that.
You also state in your job posting that you require tutors that can work with students of all ages. As a summer camp counselor, I have experience working with preschool and kindergarten-age students. I have also tutored middle school students in reading, as well as college and high school students. Through these tutoring and counseling positions, I have learned how to best teach each age group.
