Market betas are typically computed with five years of monthly
data or two years of weekly data. For computational simplicity, we
present only 12 data points in Exhibit 13.13 for ConglomCo, a large
conglomerate firm. Using a spreadsheet regression package or other
software tool, compute a regression beta for ConglomCo.
Solution: Using the spreadsheet regression in excel to compute a regression beta for ConglomCo.
Goto the Data tab in excel
Open the Data Analysis toolpack
Slect Regression
Enter ConglomCo return data as dependent variable in the field:
INPUT Y RANGE
Enter Market return data as independent variable in the field:
INPUT X RANGE
Click OK to run the regression
In the SUMMARY OUTPUT the COEFFICIENT OF X VARIABLE is BETA
for ConglomCo. = 0.928803906.

In a digital communication system, probability density function
of the two level signal received in the receiver is:
PR(v) =
PS(v)*PN(v) =
[0.4δ(v+1) + 0.6δ(v-4)]*η(v). And ,
η(v) is the noise that added to the message sign as the
additive Gaussian noise with a value of zero and an effective value
of 3.
(* symbol means convolution process, in the solution of this
problem you can use the below Q function table.) ,
