Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Chapter 2, Problem 32RE

Stock Investments Exercises 29–34 are based on the following table, which shows some values of ABCromD (ABCD) stock:

Dec. 2002 Aug. 2004 Mar. 2005 May 2005 Aug. 2005 Dec. 2005
3.28 16.31 33.95 21.00 30.47 7.44
Jun. 2007 Mar. 2008 Oct. 2008 Nov. 2009 Feb. 2010 Aug. 2010
12.36 7.07 11.44 33.53 44.86 45.74

Suppose John O’Hagan had purchased ABCD stock in August 2004. If he had later sold on one of the dates in the table, which of those dates would have given him the largest annual loss on a simple interest basis, and what would that loss have been?
