Question

1. An investor would like to know if their stock portfolio average CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is different from 10%. From a sample of 30 periods, the average CAGR was 12.2% with standard deviation of s=9%. Calculate the 95% confidence interval. Perform the appropriate one-sample test with results.

Based on the one-sample t test, conclude that the average CAGR is significantly different from 10%.

Based on the one-sample Z test, conclude that the average CAGR is NOT significantly different from 10%.

Based on the one-sample Z test, conclude that the average CAGR is significantly different from 10%.

Based on the one-sample t test, conclude that the average CAGR is NOT significantly different from 10%.

2. A non-profit organization specializing in providing assistance domestic violence victims would like to conduct a study to identify what factors such as age or availability of suitable housing (yes or no) can overall physical health (measured as a quantitative number). What would be the suitable statistical analysis?

b. Linear Regression

c. Paired t-test

a.

Based on the one-sample t test, conclude that the average CAGR is significantly different from 10%.

b.

Based on the one-sample Z test, conclude that the average CAGR is NOT significantly different from 10%.

c.

Based on the one-sample Z test, conclude that the average CAGR is significantly different from 10%.

d.

Based on the one-sample t test, conclude that the average CAGR is NOT significantly different from 10%.

Explanation / Answer

1. The statistical software output for this problem is:

One sample T summary hypothesis test:
: Mean of population
H0 : = 10
HA : 10

Hypothesis test results:

Since p - value is greater than 0.05, we do not reject Ho.

Hence,

Option D is correct.

2. Option B is correct.
