Over a span of 10 years (120 months), you collect the following data on the monthly returns large and small cap stock indices:
Large return (%) | Small return (%) | Difference (large - small) | |
Mean | 1.23 | 1.49 | 1.23 - 1.49 |
SD | 4.98 | 5.39 | 3.5 |
Calculate the test statistic for paired-observation test equality of the means of these two indices.
Bonus thinking question: can you reject the hypothesis that they are equal?

Over the past 6 months, you observe the following monthly returns for an actively managed small cap mutual fund and for the benchmark small cap index: Time Fund return (%) Index return (%) 1 2.79 2.3 2 1.06 1.24 3 -2.36 -2.71 4 0.18 0.66 5 -0.26 -0.7 6 2.95 2.25 What is the tracking error for the fund over this period? PLEASE DO THE PROBLEM ON EXCEL AND SHOW THE STEPS. The answer should be : 0.45 margin of...
1) Identify the rejection point(s) for the test of the following hypothesis: H0: mean = 10, Ha: mean != 10 Conducted on a sample size of 15, on a normally distributed population with unknown population variance, and a desired Type1 error probability (alpha) of 0.05. Hint: use the appropriate statistical function in your spreadsheet to determine the rejection point. Z test with rejection points -1.64 and +1.64 Z test with rejection points -1.96 and +1.96 t-test with degrees of freedom=14,...

(1 point) In the following questions, use the normal distribution to find a confidence interval for a difference in proportions pu - P2 given the relevant sample results. Give the best point estimate for p. - P2, the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from random samples. Give your answers to 4 decimal places. 300. Use 1. A 80% interval for pı - P2 given that...
