Trading skills of institutional investors. The trading skills of institutional stock investors were quantified and analyzed in The Journal of Finance (April 2011). The study focused on 鈥渞ound-trip鈥 trades, i.e., trades in which the same stock was both bought and sold in the same quarter. Consider a random sample of 200 round-trip trades made by institutional investors. Suppose the sample mean rate of return is 2.95% and the sample standard deviation is 8.82%. If the true mean rate of return of round-trip trades is positive, then the population of institutional investors is considered to have performed successfully.

a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for determining whether the population of institutional investors performed successfully.

b. Find the rejection region for the test using\(\alpha = 0.05\).

c. Interpret the value of\(\alpha \)in the words of the problem.

d. A Minitab printout of the analysis is shown below. Locate the test statistic and p-value on the printout. (Note: For large samples, z 鈮 t.)

e. Give the appropriate conclusion in the words of the problem.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.\({H_0}:\mu = 0\)and\({H_a}:\mu > 0\)are the null and the alternative hypothesis.

b. The rejection region is \({z_c} > 1.645\).

c. The probability of the true mean rate of return of round-trip trades is positive.

d.From the MINITAB output, the test statistic is 4.73, and the p-value is 0.000.

e. It can be concluded that the population of institutional investors did not perform successfully at the significance level \(\alpha = 0.05\).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The sample size is 200, the sample mean is 2.95, and the sample standard deviation is 8.82.

Also, MINITAB output is as follows

02

Setting up the null and alternative hypothesis

a.

Null hypothesis:

\({H_0}:\mu = 0\)

That is, the population of institutional investors performed successfully.

Alternative hypothesis:

\({H_a}:\mu > 0\)

That is, the population of institutional investors did not perform successfully.

03

Finding the rejection region

b.

Here, the test is the right tail, and the significance level is 0.05. The critical value \({z_{0.05}}\) is obtained from the standard normal table.

Thus, the required \({z_{0.05}}\) critical value is 1.645.

The rejection region for the right tail test is\({z_c} > {z_a}\)

Hence, the rejection region is \({z_c} > 1.645\).

04

Interpreting the value of \(\alpha \) \(\)

c.

The probability of Type I error is denoted as\(\alpha \). In other words, it is the probability of the error committed to rejecting a null hypothesis\(\left( {{H_0}} \right)\)when it is true.

In the study, the interpretation \(\alpha \) is that the probability of the population of institutional investors did not perform successfully. That is, the probability of the true mean rate of return of round-trip trades is positive.

05

Finding the test statistic and the p-value

d.

From the MINITAB output, the test statistic is 4.73, and the p-value is 0.000.

06

Conclusion

e.

Here, the p-value is 0.000, which is less than the value \(\alpha = 0.05\).

If the p-value <\(\alpha \), then the null hypothesis is rejected.

Hence, Reject the null hypothesis\({H_0}\)

Thus, it can be concluded that the population of institutional investors did not perform successfully at the significance level\(\alpha = 0.05\).

That is, the true mean rate of return of round-trip trades is positive. \(\)

Which hypothesis, the null or the alternative, is the status-quo hypothesis? Which is the research hypothesis?

: A random sample of n = 200 observations from a binomial population yield

p^=0.29

a. Test H0:p=0.35 against H0:p<0.35. Usea=0.05.

7.87 Trading skills of institutional investors. Refer to The Journal of Finance (April 2011) analysis of trading skills of institutional investors, Exercise 7.36 (p. 410). Recall that the study focused on 鈥渞ound-trip鈥 trades, i.e., trades in which the same stock was both bought and sold in the same quarter. In a random sample of 200 round-trip trades made by institutional investors, the sample standard deviation of the rates of return was 8.82%. One property of a consistent performance of institutional investors is a small variance in the rates of return of round-trip trades, say, a standard deviation of less than 10%.

a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for determining whether the population of institutional investors performs consistently.

b. Find the rejection region for the test using =.05

c. Interpret the value ofin the words of the problem.

d. A Mini tab printout of the analysis is shown (next column). Locate the test statistic andp-valueon the printout.

e. Give the appropriate conclusion in the words of the problem.

f. What assumptions about the data are required for the inference to be valid?

Managers who engage in 鈥渃oopetition.鈥 In business, firms that both cooperate and compete with other firms are described as engaging in 鈥渃oopetition.鈥 A study published in Industrial Marketing Management (February 2016) examined the level of external tension experienced by managers who engage in coopetition. External tension (measured on a 20-point scale) was recorded for each in a sample of 1,532 managers, all from firms that were engaged in coopetition. The sample mean tension was x=10.82 and the sample standard deviation was s=3.04.

Conduct a test (using a=.05) to determine if the true mean external tension level of all managers who engage in coopetition differs from 10.5 points.

Customers who participate in a store鈥檚 free loyalty card program save money on their purchases but allow the store to keep track of the customer鈥檚 shopping habits and potentially sell these data to third parties. A Pew Internet & American Life Project Survey (January 2016) revealed that 225 of a random sample of 250 U.S. adults would agree to participate in a store loyalty card program, despite the potential for information sharing. Letp represent the true proportion of all customers who would participate in a store loyalty card program.

a. Compute a point estimate ofp

b. Consider a store owner who claims that more than 80% of all customers would participate in a loyalty card program. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the true proportion of all customers who would participate in a store loyalty card program exceeds .8

c. Compute the test statistic for part b.

d. Find the rejection region for the test if =.01.

e. Find the p-value for the test.

f. Make the appropriate conclusion using the rejection region.

g. Make the appropriate conclusion using the p-value.
