The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard Poors 500 (SP 500) indexes are used as measures of overall movement in the stock market The DJIA is based on the price movements of 30 large companies: the SP 500 is an index composed of 500 stocks. Some say the SP 500 is a better measure of stock market performance because it is broader based. The closing price for the DJIA and the SP 500 for 15 weeks, beginning with January 6, 2012, follow (Barrons web site, April 17, 2012). a. Develop a scatter chart for these data with DJIA as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between DJIA and SP 500? b. Develop an estimated regression equation showing how SP 500 is related to DJIA. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of SP 500 does the model estimated in part (b) explain? f. Suppose that the closing price for the DJIA is 13,500. Estimate the closing price for the SP 500. g. Should we be concerned that the DJIA value of 13,500 used to predict the SP 500 value in part (f) is beyond the range of the DJIA used to develop the estimated regression equation?

According to the explanation of the attached picture in my textbook is that " price-weighted index (e.g., Dow Jones) is computed by summing the prices of the individual stocks, then dividing by a divisor to determine the base index value. The divisor, such as 100, relates the starting value and is adjusted as stocks split or composition of the index is changed" please illustrate the calculation of stock market indexs and market value-weighted index correlatively with the table in picture and the explanation below the table to make me understand why divisor is 100, what's the core concept in calculating both price-weighted index and market value-weighted index in the table
