44:55 choice A has an expected value of -$300 and a standar deviation of $400, choice B has an expected value of -$280 and a standar deviation of $0. So in the short run, it's better to choose A; in the long run it's better B. 49:26 in this questions, the standard deviation are the same but the expected values are positive with the same amount. Choice A it's better in the long run, while choice B it's better in the short run.

Wow, MIT got the CEO of Lau Security Investment Holdings to teach a class

I have been searching for beginner and intermediate courses on economics and finance, and to be honest quality content is rare as a rocking horse poo. As a CS grad student, I did not have a problem like this for topics in CS, EE, Math or Physics. I have come to the conclusion that you are almost the only top-tier higher education institution supporting the openness and accessibility of knowledge to this extent, and I appreciate all the effort you put in this way. You have played a decisive role in the success of many students from all over the world <3
