Putting It Together: Rates of Return of Stocks Stocks may be categorized by industry. Go to www.pearsonhighered.com/sullivanstats and download the file $2_{-} 3_{-} 19 .$ The data represent the three-year rate of return of stocks categorized as consumer defensive and industrial (as of November 25,2014 ). (a) Construct a relative frequency distribution for each industry. To make an easy comparison, create each frequency distribution so that the lower class limit of the first class is -20 and the class width is $10 .$ (b) Draw relative frequency histograms for each industry. (c) On the same graph, construct a relative frequency polygon for each of the two industries. (d) On the same graph, construct a relative frequency ogive for each of the two industries. (e) Which industry appears to have the better three-year performance? Support your opinion.
Organizing and Summarizing Data
Additional Displays of Quantitative Data
Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that yield an expected rate of return of 25 percent or more. But suppose there are $10$ billion of investment projects yielding expected returns of between 20 and 25 percent; another $10$ billion yielding between 15 and 20 percent; another $10$ billion between 10 and 15 percent; and so forth. Cumulate these data and present them graphically, putting the expected rate of return on the vertical axis and the amount of investment on the horizontal axis. What will be the equilibrium level of aggregate investment if the real interest rate is (a) 15 percent, $(b)$ 10 percent, and ( $c$ ) 5 percent? Explain why this curve is the investment demand curve.
the distributions of rates of return for companies AA and BB are given below state of the economy probability o this state occurring AA BB Boom 0.2 30% -10% Normal 0.6 10% 5% Recession 0.2 -5% 50% we can conclude from the above information that any rational risk oversee investor would be better off adding security AA to a well -diversified portfolio over security BB
