An online investment blogger advises investing in mutual funds that have performed badly the past year because "regression to the mean tells us that they will do well next year." Is he correc Choose the correct answer below. O A. No, he is incorrect. The mutual fund will regress to the mean, but it may not do so for a few years. O B. No, he is incorrect. There is no reason to assume that mutual fund returns will regress to the mean. The fund manager may be poor at choosing stocks. O C. No, he is incorrect. The mutual fund will regress to the mean, but this does not mean it will have a positive return. O D. Yes, he is correct. The mutual fund will regress to the mean, which will result in a positive return from the funds.

.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.
The selling prices of mutual funds change daily. In order to study these changes, a sample of mutual funds was examined and the daily changes in price are listed below.

A poll uses responses everal questions to calculate a "Happiness" index that measures overall happiness. An article included the happiness index for the 7 years between 2008 and 2016. Also included in the article were the percentages of people who responded "somewhat agree" or "strongly agree" to the following statements. Statement 1 (happy with life) 1: At this time, I'm generally happy with my life. Statement Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2013 2015 2016 2 (won't benefit): I won't get much benefit from the things that I do anytime soon.

Exercise 6. Regression Fallacy. Historically, scores on the two midterms had a correlation of 0.48. Suppose that Jeri scored 2.1 standard deviations below the mean on the first midterm. (a) How many standard deviations [above or below?] the mean would you predict for her second midterm?
An e-commerce retailer was trying to understand how customer engagement correlates to customer purchases. They built the following regression model: Probability of Purchase = 0.1619 + 0.07 Emails Opened. If someone opens 5 emails how likely are they to purchase? If someone has a 75% chance of purchase how many emails have they opened? If someone opens no emails how likely are they to purchase? What is the slope here and what does it tell us?
A study of several cities shows a positive correlation between the percent of people late to work and the amount of pollution on the roadways. Which statement is most likely true?
What is another possible explanation for this correlational relationship? Since this is just a correlation, we can’t be sure if age causes changes in your field goal percentage. So, what is one possible other explanation that you can come up with for the correlation that you calculated (hint: think about possible "third variable" explanations for this correlation---what other variables or factors might be causing changes in both x and y that could explain this correlation?).
A set of data has a histogram that is extremely skewed, what does this tell you about the data and how observations will tend to fall around the mean?
Arbor Systems and Gencore stocks both have a volatility of 44%. Compute the volatility of a portfolio with 50% invested in each stock if the correlation between the stocks is 0.00. If the correlation is 0.00, the volatility of the portfolio is%. (Round to one decimal place.)
