Answer to Problem 56CE

The correlation coefficient is –0.059.

There is not enough evidence to infer that the population correlation is positive.

Explanation of Solution

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the correlation coefficient using MegaStat software:

  • In an EXCEL sheet enter the data values of x and y.
  • Go to Add-Ins > MegaStat > Correlation/Regression > Correlation matrix.
  • Enter Input Range as Sheet6!$H$1:$I$9.
  • Click on OK.

Output obtained using MegaStat is given as follows:

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES-ACCESS ONLY, Chapter 13, Problem 56CE , additional homework tip  1

The correlation coefficient is –0.059.

Denote the population correlation as ρ.

The hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

H0:ρ0

That is, the correlation in the population is less than or equal to zero.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:ρ>0

That is, the correlation in the population is positive.

Test statistic:

The test statistic is as follows:

t=rn21r2

Here, the sample size is 8 and the correlation coefficient is –0.059.

The test statistic is as follows:

t=0.059821(0.0592)=0.059×61.003481=0.145

Degrees of freedom:

df=n2=82=6

The level of significance is 0.05. Therefore, 1α=0.95.

Critical value:

Step-by-step software procedure to obtain the critical value using EXCEL software:

  • Open an EXCEL file.
  • In cell A1, enter the formula “=T.INV (0.95, 6)”.

Output obtained using the EXCEL is given as follows:

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES-ACCESS ONLY, Chapter 13, Problem 56CE , additional homework tip  2

Decision rule:

Reject the null hypothesis H0, if t-calculated>t-critical value.

Otherwise, fail to reject H0.

Conclusion:

The value of test statistic is –0.415 and the critical value is 1.943.

Here, t-calculated(=0.415)<t-critical value(=1.943).

By the rejection rule, do not reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to infer that the population correlation is positive.

Answer to Problem 56CE

The regression equation is Return=17.93210.0322Growth.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the slope of the regression line is not negative at 5% level of significance.

Explanation of Solution

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the ‘Regression equation’ using the MegaStat software:

  • In an EXCEL sheet enter the data values of x and y.
  • Go to Add-Ins > MegaStat > Correlation/Regression > Regression Analysis.
  • Select input range as ‘Sheet6!$I$1:$I$9’ under Y/Dependent variable.
  • Select input range ‘Sheet6!$H$1:$H$9’ under X/Independent variables.
  • Click on OK.

Output using the Mega Stat software is given below:

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES-ACCESS ONLY, Chapter 13, Problem 56CE , additional homework tip  3

From the output, the regression equation is, Return=17.93210.0322Growth

The test hypotheses are:

Define β as the slope of the regression line.

Null hypothesis:

H0:β0

That is, the slope of the regression line is not less than zero.

Alternate hypothesis:

H1:β<0

That is, the slope of the regression line is less than zero.

Consider the level of significance as 0.05.

The standard error of b(=0.0322) is given as sb=0.2226.

Test statistic:

The t-test statistic is:

t=b0sb,

Where, b is the slope of the computed regression line, sb is the standard error of b.

Thus,

t=bsb=0.03220.2226=0.144

Here, the sample size is n=8. Thus, the degrees of freedom is:

n2=82=6

Step-by-step software procedure to obtain the critical value, tα using EXCEL software is as follows:

•         Open an EXCEL file.

•         In cell A1, enter the formula “=T.INV(0.95,6)”.

Output using the EXCEL is given as follows:

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES-ACCESS ONLY, Chapter 13, Problem 56CE , additional homework tip  4

From the EXCEL output, the critical value is 1.943.

Decision based on critical value:

Reject the null hypothesis if, tcalculated value <tα.

Otherwise fail to reject H0.

Conclusion:

The t-calculated value is –0.144 and the critical value is 1.943.

That is, tcalculated value(=0.144) >tα(=1.943).

Thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Hence, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the slope of the regression line is not negative at 5% level of significance.

Answer to Problem 56CE

Company RC has the largest residual.

Explanation of Solution

The error estimate is the difference between actual return and estimated return. The error estimates for each of the companies are as follows:

Companyyy-capError
AT23.117.67455.4255
B13.217.42978–4.22978
GD24.216.927467.27254
H11.117.8516–6.7516
LC10.116.79222–6.69222
NG10.817.7389–6.9389
RC27.317.651969.64804
UT20.117.829062.27094

From the table, it is clear that company RC has the largest residual.

The class will include a data exercise where students will be introduced to publicly available data sources. Students will gain experience in manipulating data from the web and applying it to understanding the economic and demographic conditions of regions in the U.S. Regions and topics of focus will be determined (by the student with instructor approval) prior to April. What data exercise can I do to fulfill this requirement? Please explain.

Using the "fGarch" package of R, outputs of fitting three GARCH models to the returns are given at the end of this question. Model 1 ARCH (1) with standard normal innovations; Model 2 Model 3 GARCH (1, 1) with Student-t innovations; GARCH (2, 2) with Student-t innovations; Based on the outputs, answer the following questions. (a) What can be inferred from the Standardized Residual Tests conducted on Model 1? (b) Which model do you recommend for prediction between Model 2 and Model 3? Why? (c) Write down the fitted model for the model that you recommended in Part (b).
