Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than
4
%.
A mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects
22
months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be
3.43
%.
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the
alpha equals 0.01
level of significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed.
What are the correct hypotheses for this test?

A certain drug can be used to reduce the acid produced by the body and heal damage to the esophagus due to acid reflux. The manufacturer of the drug claims that more than 94% of patients taking the drug are healed within 8 weeks. In clinical trials, 223 of 235 patients suffering from acid reflux disease were healed after 8 weeks. Test the manufacturer's claim at the alpha equals 0.05 level of significance. Choose answers from the parenthesis when needed....

You don't need to be rich to buy a few shares in a mutual fund. The question is, how reliable are mutual funds as investments? This depends on the type of fund you buy. The following data are based on information taken from a mutual fund guide available in most libraries. A random sample of percentage annual returns for mutual funds holding stocks in aggressive-growth small companies is shown below. -1.8 14.4 41.9 17.9 -16.7 4.4 32.6 -7.3 16.2 2.8...
