Speaking to a group of analysts in January 2006, a brokerage firm executive claimed that at least 70% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment objectives. AUBS Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over the period January 2 to January 15, found that 67% of investors were confident of meeting their investment objectives (CNBC, January 20, 2006).
- a. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to test the validity of the brokerage firm executive’s claim.
- b. Assume the UBS Investor Optimism Survey collected information from 300 investors. What is the p-value for the hypothesis test?
- c. At α = .05, should the executive’s claim be rejected?

The American Association of Individual Investors
(AAII) conducts a weekly survey of its members to measure the percent who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months. For the week ending March 27, 2019, the survey results showed 33.2% bullish, 39.6% neutral, and 27.2% bearish. Assume these results are based on a sample of 300 AAII members.
Based on a USA Today poll, 10% of the population believes that college is no longer a good
investment. Would it be unusual if 100 of the chosen people beleive that college is no longer a good investment? What does this result suggest?
Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 54 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 27 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001.What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample?
