1    Overview

Warnings

*You will need to use excel to analyse the dataset, you must prove you are able to reproduce the excel analysis in the tutorial.

*It will not be enough to paste the reference list at the end of the assignment, you will also have to paste the exact reference you paraphrased.



You will Analyse the investor data of the XYZ Investment advisors, Assume this is an international company that makes investments on behalf of its customers. The lecturer roughly based the data on real world data. Investor data will give you the skills to analyse real data



 After paraphrasing some relevant literature or webpage, perform a suitable analysis on the investor data Your analysis should include a suitable hypothesis test to investigate the relationship between 2 relevant variables.

Also

*find a 90% interval for the return on investment (measured in annual profit per $1000)

*test the claim the annual profit per $1000 is above $30
2    Materials

*The following word document has the correct layout for the assignment, you must download the document and then fill in all the relevant sections


assignment template
*You must use the dataset given below

Investor data


*You must use excel to get appropriate summary statistics and graphs, You can use a webpage or any package to find p-values.



*you must find at least one article on investors yourself.

3    Report Structure
The suggested report structure is as follows:
Section 1: Introduction

Give an introduction to the entire report


Section 2: Reviewing academic source(s) or website(s) relevant to investors
Find at least one journal article or website related to investors and give a brief discussion of the article






Section 3: A simple Bivariate analysis of the investor data and Hypothesis test

Using the


Investor data


*Include at least ONE bivariate analysis that shows the relationship between two variables you discussed in Section 2. You will need to explain if the Bivariate analysis does or does not support the claim made in section 2.

You will need to use excel to do this, you must also use a filter to select a sample based on your student number, if you are not sure how to do this refer to the following guide


*You will also need to perform at least ONE hypothesis test related to a bivariate analysis



Make sure you comment on your analysis and do NOT leave out the sample size. Note that you only have to do ONE bivariate analysis based on a pair of variables and there are 3 possible options


Option 1: You have picked two categorical variables

Give a two-way table, also give a chart that compares the proportions of the different groups.
Perform the chi square test of independence



Option 2: You have picked one categorical and one numerical variable
Give a table that compares the means and standard deviations of each group. Also, give a chart that shows the distribution of each variable.

Perform the two sample t test, If there are more than 2 categories just use the two most common categories.



Option 3: You have picked two numerical variables

Give a scatterplot that shows the relationship between both variables. Also, find the mean and standard deviation for each of the variables.


For the Hypothesis Test that the slope is different to 0 (or test if the correlation is 0, that will give EXACTLY the same p-value), If you are not sure how to do this you are allowed to replace one or both of your variables with a categorical variable and then do a suitable hypothesis test
