QUESTION: 626

You are examining a group of 4 stock analysts within an industry. The average stock analyst correctly predicts the direction of a given stock 51% of the time. For these analysts, their accuracy has been 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%. What is the mean absolute deviation of their accuracy from the average?

12%.
10%.
15%.
9%.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The mean absolute deviation = the sum of (as i goes from 1 to n) of the absolute value of (X_i - Xbar), divided by n. Here, we have [|40% - 51%| + |50% - 51%| + |60% - 51%| + |70% - 51%|]/4 = [11% + 1% + 9% + 19%] / 4 = 40%/4 = 10%.

None of these answers
For each unit increased in X, Y increases by 20

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The regression is written as Y' = a + bX. The letter "a" is the Y intercept and b is the slope of the line. Y' is the predicted value of Y given a specific value of X. Here b = 20.
