Question

Identify date and mean abnormal return (derived from the market model) for all dates where there is evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean abnormal return equals zero. State the level of statistical significance, 10% level, 5% level, or 1% level.

Note that you will report the strongest statement you can correctly make about statistical significance. For example, if the p-value is .03, then report "statistically significant at the 5% level.

For all of your tests for statistical significance, use (t-test). Please explain results.

Explanation / Answer

[Note: No data is given, thus for illustration a real data of NSE daily price has been downloaded and used]

Here, p-value>.05; thus, we cant reject H0; and conclude that mean is not significantly greater than 8399. The computed mean (8399.105) is just due to chance.
