Answer:

0.31

Explanation:

current stock price $70

risk free rate = 6%

standard deviation = 40$

30 day call option $75

the simplest way to calculate delta (or stock position) is to use a scientific calculator, but if you want you can also do it manually:

delta = N(d₁) ⇒ cumulative normal distribution probability at d₁

with d₁ = [ln (S/K) + (r2  + σ ²/2)T] / σ√T
