6. The trading skills of institutional stock investors were quantified and analyzed in The Journal of Finance. The study focuses on "round-trip" traders, i.e., trades in which the same stock was both bought and sold in the same quarter. Consider a random sample of 200 round-trip traders made by institutional investors. Suppose the sample mean rate of return is 2.50% and the sample deviation is 8.85%. If the true mean rate of return of round-trip trades is positive, then the population of institutional investors is considered to have performed successfully. a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for determining whether the population institutional investors performed successfully. b. Calculate the test statistic. c. Use either rejection region or p-value approach to give the appropriate conclusion at a = .01.
