Inflation is a measure of the buying power of your dollar. For example, if inflation this year is 5%, then a given item would be expected to cost 5% more at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year. The figure below shows the rate of inflation in the United States for the given years. 14 13- 7. 3- 2- П 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 Year Assume that men's clothing followed the rate of inflation. If a man's suit cost $300 at the beginning of 1995, what did it cost at the end of 1995? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Rate of inflation

Go to Yahoo!Finance and download data at the MONTHLY frequency for the stock `` Amazon.com Inc`` with ticker AMZN with starting date June 1, 1997 and end date August 4, 2016. Use the ADJUSTED CLOSING PRICE to create the monthly RETURNS that are the percentage change of the adjusted closing price (NB: make sure to sort first the price from OLDEST TO NEWEST; the percentage return is 100 times the price change between the current and previous month divided by the price in the previous month). Based on the time series of the stock return, answer the following questions (NB: you should have 230 monthly returns): Calculate the sample mean or average of the stock return: Calculate the sample standard deviation of the stock return: !!! For the questions below, use the values for the mean and std. dev. that you typed above !!! Assuming that the returns follow a normal distribution: Calculate the P(return > 3.31): Calculate the P(-14.59 < return < 35.61): Find x such that P(return…
