A Harvard student heard from a friend at UCLA, who had recently taken an excellent real estate finance and investments course, that a “conforming” mortgage loan would likely provide her with the lowest possible interest rate on the home loan for the $1 million condo she was planning to buy on Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. For a home loan to be a “conforming” mortgage loan, it would: Require that she have a DSCR or FICO score lower than the minimums currently required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for such loans Have an LTV ratio that is higher than the ratio currently approved by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Have to comply with the underwriting guidelines for loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy at the time of loan origination Have to exceed the $1,089,300 maximum loan limit currently permitted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for home loans in high cost areas like Los Angeles
Colonial Funds claims to have a bond fund which has maintained a mean share price of $⁢12.00. They claim that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.22. To test this claim, the investor randomly selects 25 days during the last year. He finds an average share price of $⁢11.80 with a standard deviation of 0.0931. Can the investor conclude that the share price of the bond fund varies by less than Colonial Funds claims at α=0.05? Step 1 of 5: State the hypotheses in terms of the standard deviation. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places when necessary. Step 2 of 5: Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5: Make the decision. Step 5 of 5: What is the conclusion?
