Concept explainers
You’re given the option of investing $10,000 in one of three mutual funds. A prominent market analyst posts the following estimates of performance for the three funds. The Hetrick Fund: 40% chance of a 35% gain; 40% chance of a 30% loss; 20% chance of breaking even. The Abercrombie Fund: 80% chance of breaking even; 12% chance of an 18% gain; 8% chance of a 9% loss. The Goldberg Fund: 25% chance of a 90% gain; 25% chance of a 5% gain; 40% chance of breaking even; 10% chance of losing everything. Answer parts (a) and (b) without doing any calculations.
(a) If your primary objective is to shoot for the largest possible return without regard to risk, which would you be likely to choose?
(b) If your primary objective is the least risk of losing big, which would you be likely to choose?
(c) Find the expected value for each fund. With these choices, who would be most likely to be successful: a timid investor or an aggressive one?

- Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include: Mileage (mpg) Number of Cylinders (cyl) Displacement (disp) Horsepower (hp) Research: Google to understand these variables. Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp Mean Median First Quartile (Q1) Second Quartile (Q2) Third Quartile (Q3) Fourth Quartile (Q4) 10th Percentile 70th Percentile Skewness Kurtosis Document Your Results: In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command” In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document.
