Question

give answer in 2 step with explanation at the end of each step and final answer at the end:
4. Copper Oxide Layers The common building blocks for most high temperature (high Tc) su perconductors are copper oxide layers as shown in the figure below.

Assume the distance between the copper atoms (dark circles) is a. For simplicity assume that in the third dimension these CuO2 layers are simply stacked ( copper above copper, oxygen above oxygen) with spacing c, and there are no other atoms in the crystal structure. In first approximation, the layers have four -fold symmetry; the crystal is tetragonal. 0.0.0.0 0.0. 0.0. (i) tetragonal (ii) orthorhombic (a) Sketch the Bravais lattice and indicate a possible set of primitive lattice vectors. What is the unit cell, and what is the basis? (b) In La2CuO4 one discovers at closer inspection, that the CuO2 lattice is actually not flat; but that the oxygen atoms are moved out of the plane ( up or down) in an alternating fashion (see the figure above where + means up and means down. What is the primitive cell and lattice spacing for this crystal ?

Let's break down the problem and solve it **in 2 steps**:

### **Step 1: Calculate the active returns for each period and the average active return**

The **active return** each month is:  
**Active return = Fund return - Index return**

| Month | Fund (%) | Index (%) | Active Return (%) |
|-------|----------|-----------|------------------|
| 1     | 1.89     | 1.99      | 1.89 - 1.99 = -0.10  |
| 2     | 2.13     | 2.18      | 2.13 - 2.18 = -0.05  |
| 3     | -1.03    | -1.30     | -1.03 - (-1.30) = 0.27 |
| 4     | -0.56    | -0.90     | -0.56 - (-0.90) = 0.34 |
| 5     | 1.07     | 1.41      | 1.07 - 1.41 = -0.34  |
| 6     | -2.75    | -2.27     | -2.75 - (-2.27) = -0.48 |

Now, add up all the active returns and divide by 6 to get the **mean active return**:
$$
\text{Mean active return} = \frac{-0.10 + (-0.05) + 0.27 + 0.34 + (-0.34) + (-0.48)}{6}
= \frac{-0.10 - 0.05 + 0.27 + 0.34 - 0.34 - 0.48}{6}
= \frac{-0.36}{6}
= -0.06
$$

**Explanation**:  
We calculated the monthly active returns and found the average monthly active return is **-0.06%**.

### **Step 2: Calculate the standard deviation of active returns and the information ratio**

First, calculate the variance (and then the standard deviation) of the active returns:
- List of active returns: -0.10, -0.05, 0.27, 0.34, -0.34, -0.48
- Mean = -0.06

Now compute squared deviations:
$$
\begin{align*}
&(-0.10 - (-0.06))^2 = (-0.04)^2 = 0.0016 \
&(-0.05 - (-0.06))^2 = (0.01)^2 = 0.0001 \
&(0.27 - (-0.06))^2 = (0.33)^2 = 0.1089 \
&(0.34 - (-0.06))^2 = (0.40)^2 = 0.16 \
&(-0.34 - (-0.06))^2 = (-0.28)^2 = 0.0784 \
&(-0.48 - (-0.06))^2 = (-0.42)^2 = 0.1764 \
\end{align*}
$$
Sum of squared deviations:
$$
0.0016 + 0.0001 + 0.1089 + 0.16 + 0.0784 + 0.1764 = 0.5254
$$
Variance (for a sample, divide by n-1 = 5):
$$
\text{Variance} = \frac{0.5254}{5} = 0.10508
$$
Standard deviation:
$$
\text{Std deviation} = \sqrt{0.10508} \approx 0.3243
$$

Now, **Information Ratio** = Mean active return / Std deviation of active returns:
$$
\text{Information Ratio} = \frac{-0.06}{0.3243} \approx -0.185
$$

**Explanation**:  
We calculated the standard deviation of active returns and then used it to find the information ratio.

### **Final Answer**

**The information ratio for the fund over this period is approximately -0.19.**
