How would you test the claim that the 5-year return is less than the 3-year return when given a random data set. Use α = 0.01.

Test the hypothesis that $a=10$ in Exercise 11.6 on page 398 against the alternative that $\alpha<10$ Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Are average returns significantly different from zero? (5 points) Under the assumption that the returns of each asset are drawn from an independently and identically distributed normal distribution, are the expected returns of each asset statistically different from zero at the 1% level of significance? Provide details for all 5 steps to conduct a hypothesis test, including the equation for the test statistic. Calculate and report all the relevant values for your conclusion and be sure to provide an interpretation of the results. Using RStudio to answer the above question

Please provide the following information. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. (b) Find the sample test statistic $R$, the number of runs. (c) Find the upper and lower critical values in Table 10 of Appendix II. (d) Conclude the test. (e) Interpret the conclusion in the context of the application. Many economists and financial experts claim that the price level of a stock or bond is not random; rather, the price changes tend to follow a random sequence over time. The following data represent annual percentage returns on Vanguard Total Stock Index for a sequence of recent years. This fund represents nearly all publicly traded U.S. stocks (Reference: Morningstar Mutual Fund Analysis ). (i) Convert this sequence of numbers to a sequence of symbols $A$ and $B$, where A indicates a value above the median and B a value below the median. (ii) Test the sequence for randomness about the median. Use $\alpha=0.05$.
