Refer to Exercise 1 on the investment bank. Using the investment strategy that yields a mean yield of 7.0% with a standard deviation of 0.9%, what should a published goal of yield for customers be if the bank wants to be 95% sure of meeting that goal?
Exercise 1
Refer to Exercise 2. With the adoption of a slightly more conservative investment strategy, the bank forecasts a mean yield of 7.0% with a standard deviation of 0.9%. Assuming normality of distribution of yield rates, what is the lower capability index if the goal value is still 9.0%? In what proportion of the time will the goal be met?
Exercise 2
An investment bank has been monitoring its return on investment for a certain category of its shareholders. Past data show a mean yield of 7.5% with a standard deviation of 1.5%. Assuming normality of distribution of yield rates, if senior management has set a goal of 9% for yield, what is the lower capability index? In what proportion of the time will the goal be met?
