Question

Rates of return (annualized) in two investment portfolios are compared over the last 12 quarters. They are considered similar in safety, but portfolio B is advertised as being “less volatile.” (a) At α = .025, does the sample show that  portfolio A has significantly greater variance in rates of return than portfolio B? (b) At α = .025, is there a significant difference in the means?
 

Portfolio A Portfolio B
5.23 8.96
10.91 8.60
12.49 7.61
4.17 6.60
5.54 7.77
8.68 7.06
7.89 7.68
9.82 7.62
9.62 8.71
4.93 8.97
11.66 7.71
11.49 9.91
 

(b-1) Choose the appropriate hypotheses. Assume d = company assessed value – employee assessed value.
 
multiple choice 3

  • H0μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. H1μ1 – μ2 ≠ 0
  • H0μ1 – μ2 ≥ 0 vs. H1μ1 – μ2 < 0
  • H0μ1 – μ2 ≤ 0 vs. H1μ1 – μ2 > 0


 
(b-2) State the decision rule for .01 level of significance. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.)
 
Reject the null hypothesis if tcalc <______?____  or tcalc > _____?______  .
 
(b-3)
 Find the test statistic tcalc(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
