- What are the two types of statistics? (5pts.)

The two types of statistics are descriptive and inferential. In descriptive statistics, the data of a population is summarized graphically or numerically through derivation of statistics related to central tendency and dispersion around the same. The shape and nature of distribution is also used in descriptive statistics. In inferential statistics, the parameters of a population are inferred according to sample statistics. This involves the estimation of statistics of a group allowing for approximation of information data relating to the entire population. In this type of statistics, modeling are used to generate mathematical ...

Answer a)

T-Bills are independent from state of economy on account of having back up faith of US Treasury. In other words, T-Bills are risk free from default probability because the return of 5.5% will be realized irrespective of state of economy. US Treasury will have to redeem the T-Bills in any economic state. However, the rate of 5.5% is composed of Risk Free Rate(2.5%) + Inflation premium(3%) and since there is uncertainty about level of inflation in the future, T-Bills are not purely risk free in terms of purchasing power. For Example if Inflation averaged to be 3.5% ...

It would be prudent to use a sample as a statistical representation of the entire population.

A suitable sample is where n≤30 , and an appropriate distribution assumed for the data. For a data set/sample Xi , i=1,2,n,where n≤30 with mean x , consider an individual observation xi. Then (xi-x) is the distance of xi from the mean, also called the deviation. The two can be thought of as points plotted on a line graph. It might be logical to use |xi-x| in analyzing this deviation but the graph of such an absolute function gives a nasty kink where x=0. The best option would be to use (xi -x)2, since this gives a smooth curve. The ...

Introduction

Investment and risk are the two sides of a same picture, and there are no two ways to find the close relationship of both of these variables in a perfect manner (Anderson & Styan, 1990). The tradeoff of investment and risk is highly effective for an investor, because an investor would be more cautious about the association and addressing of risk, rather than of yield. Risk or deviation can also be termed as volatility in the field of finance, and the computation related to the same would be extremely critical. During the current global financial crisis (GFC), there were numerous indexes ...

Standard deviation has many applications in the world, both in business and personal use. For instance, it can be used to determine what mutual funds would be wise to invest in. Standard deviation is a popular method used by investors because it can provide a precise measure of a funds variances during a particular time frame (News.morningstar.com, 2015). It can show these variances both on the upside and downside (News.morningstar.com, 2015). By analyzing standard deviation, one can determine what range future returns will likely be in (News.morningstar.com, 2015). If a funds returns fluctuate more month to month, than the standard deviation is going to ...

Risk-Adjusted Ratio

Standard Deviation: In finance, standard deviation is a tool for statistical measurement of volatility in the stock returns. Higher the standard deviation of stock, more is its tendency from its expected returns. Hence, the investor has to face high risk if he invests in that particular stock and will demand higher return for taking high risk.

Introduction

People influence the behaviors of those they come in contact with in many different ways. One of the most important ways is that the presence of others set expectations of others. In fact, people’s behavioral patterns are not random, but they behave in different ways based on the expected response of the society. Within each social situation, there is a given set of expectations regarding the appropriate ways in which people are expected to behave. These expectations often vary from one group to another. One of the ways in which the expectations of the society become clear is through ...

Introduction

As per ohm’s law V= IR is the basic relationship between current, voltage and resistance. In case of a circuit having very high resistance the current flow is very low. In such cases, voltage drop across resistance is proportional to the value of the resistances. For example, if the total voltage is V and there are two resistances R1 and R2 connected in parallel in the circuit across the voltage and if the voltage measured across each resistors are V1 and V2 then V1/ V2 = R2/R1.
