- You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. 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. A C 6 8 14 20 12 Do the largest companies differ in performance from the performance of the 1,000 companies in the Shareholder Scoreboard? Use a = 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.

Is there any difficulty associated with using the "number of funds" as the weights in computing the weighted average total return in part (a)? Discuss. What else might be used for weights? (i) Using "number of funds" as weights will only be a good approximation if the amount invested in various funds is approximately equal. The amount invested in each fund could be used for weights. (ii) Using "number of funds" as weights results in a good approximation regardless of the amount invested in various funds. There is no need to use a different weight.
