4. A survey of 40 home prices in a metropolitan area has the following results. Price Less than $200,000 Equal to $200,000 More than $200,000 Number of homes 13 27 1. Test the hypothesis that the median price in the metropolitan is $200,000
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

### Survey of Home Prices:
A survey of 40 home prices in a metropolitan area shows the following results:
- **Number of homes priced less than $200,000**: 13
- **Number of homes priced equal to $200,000**: 1
- **Number of homes priced more than $200,000**: 27
### Hypothesis Testing:
1. **Test if the median price in the metropolitan area is $200,000.**
2. **Test if the median price in the metropolitan area is more than $200,000.**
- **Significance level (α)**: 0.05 for both cases.
- Instructions include hypothesis formulation, use of the binomial approach, and detailed explanation of calculations with p-values included.
### Regression Analysis:
It is proposed that the annual return of a security and the market return are related by the following regression model:
\[ y = mx + b + \varepsilon \]
- **y**: Annual return of the security.
- **x**: Annual return of the market.
- **b**: Intercept.
- **ε**: Normally distributed noise.
#### Return Calculation:
\[ \text{Return} = \frac{\text{Value at end of year} + \text{received dividends during year} - \text{value at beginning of year}}{\text{value at beginning of year}} \]
### Instructions for Model Testing:
- Retrieve annual data on a security of choice.
- Choose a financial index (e.g., S&P 500) as the market indicator.
- Use data spanning 20 years.
- Perform regression analysis to test the hypothesis.
- Include results and conclusions, significances, final regression model, coefficient of determination, and graphs (regression line, scatterplot, residuals).
Questions to Address:
- Model validity assessment.
- Positive or adverse influence determination.
- Explanation of results in terms of market performance.
