You decide to invest in stock in a particular type of company and set the guideline that you will only buy stock in companies that are ranked in the 80th percentile or above in terms of dividends paid in the previous year. You are looking at a company that ranked 7 out of 450 companies that paid dividends in 2019. a. Will this company qualify for your portfolio? b. If you had the data on the total dividends paid by each of the 450 companies, what would the mean and the median each tell you and how would you compute each measure?
