    We must assume either that each student is independent of each other or that any dependence is minimal in perspective. The population of high school seniors in upstate New York is presumable ten times greater then the sample size of 500 people. We are told in the problem statement that the students were selected at random. Students answers mattered only as a success or failure in whether they planned to attend college or not. In addition, n p̂ >10 at 26 people and n q̂ >10 at 474 people. Because the conditions are satisfied, a Normal Model for the sampling distribution of the proportions will be used for a one-proportion z-test. This will be a two-tailed tests as we are attempting to determine if the proportion of students who enlist in the military is different then the 90’s .045. This is completed where n is 500, p̂ is .052, q̂ is .948 and p is…

    Discussion: The distribution of each graph is quite comparable as they have similar means and standard deviation, where the preferred hand has a mean of 16.33 and a standard deviation of 2.842 whilst the non-preferred hand has a mean of 17.2 and standard deviation of 2.848. The normal distribution graph of each can be seen below: Preferred Hand vs. Non-preferred Hand: The graphs and boxplots (Figures 1.3- 1.6) seen previously in the results indicate that the two results did not have a normal…

    parametric and nonparametric analyses of variance referred to as ANOVA by sum of squares or ANOVA by rank, respectively (Figure 2). Pearson product moment correlation coefficient It can be used to measure the intensity of association between variables. The data must be normally distributed. It defines both the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It does not imply causation. Regression analysis Regression quantifies the numerical relationship between 2…

    Based on equation 1.1, 1.2 and the methodology proposed by Baumol, with a certain confidence level c, we can work out the VaR by, rVaR=-W_0 (R^*-μ) Equation 1.3 Rearrange equation 1.3 from the standardized variable we can get rVaR=W_0 ασ Equation 1.3.1 I-2 Research Question The general idea of VaR model can be shown by equation 1.3.1. However, there is an assumption for financial institutions to process which is known as time aggregation associate with σ in…

    * dWv(t) = ρdt. For computational convenient, it is general to employee logarithm to transform the asset price process S(t) into X(t) = Log (S(t)), and apply Itô’s Lemma(3) to equations (1). (3) We can get following stochastic differential equations: (4) (5) Where the parameters are defined after (1), (2) equations. The conditional transition distribution (V(t2)|V(t1)) is a non-central chi-square distribution(Andersen 2007). Let Fχ2(z; ν, λ) be the cdf of the distribution, where λ represents…

    statistical predictions. Even more precise than the interval level is the ratio level. Ratio scales are the highest level of measurement. Data at this level contain all aspects of the interval level, while having an absolute zero or starting point value. Having a starting point, allows ease in comparing more than one variable. Ratio scales can provide a richer understanding of data, since you can construct an exact fractional comparison value. Scales most frequently used at this level are…
