The Signature Assignment will be a 5-8 page (excluding cover page and references) research essay describing the importance of the basic statistical tools in a real-life situation.
Suppose that you work for a large mutual fund and your supervisor asks you to write a brief report on the funds’ rates of return in the last 3 years. Having calculated the historical returns you are asked to forecast the next year rate of return. Please describe in words what data is necessary to write the report and what basic statistics you would use. Make sure to provide details on the computations, and if you want, you can create a hypothetical data set with the sales in the past 3 years to run your results.
