How are returns on common stocks in overseas markets related to returns in U.S. markets? Measure U.S. returns by the annual rate of return on the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index and overseas returns by the annual rate of return on the Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) index. Both are recorded in percents. Regress the EAFE returns on the S&P 500 returns for the 30 years 1971 to 2000. Here is part of the Minitab output for this regression. The regression equation is EAFE = 4.76 + 0.663 S&P.

Mutual funds performance. Mutual funds often compare their performance with a benchmark provided by an "index" that describes the performance of the class of assets in which the fund invests. For example, the Vanguard International Growth Fund benchmarks its performance against the Spliced International Index. Table 20.3 gives annual returns (percent) for the fund and the index. Does the fund's performance differ significantly from that of its benchmark? (a) Explain clearly why the matched pairs t test is the proper choice to answer this question. (b) Do a complete analysis that answers the question posed.
