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?

Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we now have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company over the past four years: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 High price $ 99.70 $ 123.30 $ 132.70 $ 149.33 Low price 74.53 90.64 71.32 117.85 EPS 8.98 10.73 11.81 13.20 Earnings are projected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. a.
