The Wall Street Journal's Shareholder Scoreboard tracks the performance of 1,000 major U.S. companies. The performance of each company is rated based on the annual total return, including stock price changes and the re investment of dividends. Ratings are assigned by dividing all 1,000 companies into five groups from A (top 20%) , B (next 20%), to E (bottom 20%). Shown here are the one- year ratings for a sample of 60 of the largest companies. ABCD 5 8 15 20 12 Do the largest companies differ in performance from the performance of the 1,000 companies in the Shareholder Scoreboard? Use α = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: The proportions of the largest companies compared to the 1,000 companies are the same for at least one of the five groups. Ha : The proportions of the largest companies compared to the 1,000 companies are different for all five groups. Ho: The largest companies differ in performance from the 1,000 companies. H₂: : The largest companies do not differ…
Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 67 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 10 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3.

1. Dick Hoover, owner of Modern Office Equipment, is concerned about freight costs and clerical costs incurred on small orders. In an effort to reduce expenditures in this area, he has decided to introduce a discount policy rewarding orders over $40 in the hope that this will cause customers to consolidate a number of small orders into large orders. The following data show the amount per transaction for a sample of 28 customers:10,15,20,25,15,17,41,50,5,9,12,14,35,18,19,17,28,29,11,11,43,54,7,8,16,13,37,18a. Compute the sample meanb. Compute the standard deviationc. Compute the sample varianced. If the policy is successful, will the mean of the distribution increase, decrease, or remain unaffected?e. If the policy is successful, will the standard deviation of the distribution increase, decrease, or remain unaffected?
In a US presidential election, the incumbent president wins with 51.5% of the vote to 48.2% for the primary challenger (and .3% to others). In a nationwide telephone poll of 1000 people conducted exactly one week before the election by a university polling group, 49% of people polled supported the incumbent president, 50% supported the challenger, and 1% supported other candidates. a. For the polling study, what was the population of interest? b. What was the sample? c. Why did the sample results differ from the population? d. What are two constants that might have limited the generalizability of the polling results?
