A financial analyzer believes that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse (that is, try to avoid risk in their investment decisions) is at least 0.7. A sur-vey of 32 investors found that 20 of them were risk-averse. Formulate a one-sample hypothesis solution for a proportion to asses this belief. (Answer on Excel)

Sharon Smith, the financial manager for Barnett Corporation, wishes to select one of three prospective investments: X, Y, and Z. Assume that the measure of risk Sharon cares about is an asset's standard deviation. The expected returns and standard deviations of the investments are as follows: Investment Expected return Standard deviation X 17% 7% Y 17% 8% Z 17% 9% a. If Sharon were risk neutral, which investment would she select? Explain why. b. If she were risk averse, which investment would she select? Why? c. If she were risk seeking, which investments would she select? Why? d. Suppose a fourth investment, W, is available. It offers an expected return of 18%,and it has a standard deviation of 9%. If Sharon is risk averse, can you say which investment she will choose? Why or why not? Are there any investments that you are certain she will not choose?
