Question

Hey so i need help with this question. The first fill in (choices are SHOULD or SHOULD NOT) and the rest are just check marks for each. Thank you so much.

2. The logic of hypothesis testing Aa Aa A finance professor conducts a statistical study to test his hunch that the mean return on common-stock portfolios is different with an active trading strategy than with a more passive buy-and-hold strategy The professor does not have access to all the data for the entire population of interest. However, if he did, then he use the data to conduct a hypothesis test. Suppose the professor collects a random sample and decides to conduct a hypothesis test. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. For each statement in the following table, click the correct radio button to indicate whether the statement is the null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis, or neither. (Hint: This is a nondirectional hypothesis test.) Null Alternative Hypothesis Hypothesis Neither The mean return on common-stock portfolios is the same with a trading strategy as with a buy-and-hold strategy The mean return on common-stock portfolios is different with a trading strategy than with a buy-and-hold strategy. The mean return on common-stock portfolios is lower with a trading strategy than with a buy-and-hold strategy. The mean return on common-stock portfolios is higher with a trading strategy than with a buy-and-hold strategy.

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis testing is used to infer the result of a hypothesis performed on sample data from a larger population.

Hence for the first blank answer is If he did, then he should not use the data to conduct hypothesis test

A finance professor conducts a statistical study to test his hunch that the mean return on common-stock portfolios is different with an active trading strategy than with a more passive buy-and-hold strategy.

As we know null hypothesis always have equal sign

First one is null hypothesis

Second one is alternative hypothesis

Third and Fourth have option neither
