STEPS 2 TO 4: CHOOSING TEST, SPECIFYING SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL AND STATING THE DECISION RULE You are evaluating the performance of one of the funds held by Florida Retirement System (FRS). FRS’s mean performance over the last 5 years is shown in the table below (2017-2021). In 2022, FRS’s investments have been managed under the guidance of DELTA Advisors, and they finally achieved an annual return of [r6]%. You are tasked to write a report on whether or not FRS’s performance for 2022 is (statistically) different from the previous years (2017-2021). For this problem, you choose a 5% significance level (which is the same as 95% confidence interval). What is the t-critical value (t-“value” at which you reject the null)? Hint: Is this a one-sided problem or two-sided problem? …. and keep in mind you are relying on the t-critical and not z-value.

Before Ms. Smith leaves, you revisit a different portfolio of investments she holds. In this case, she mainly holds equity in equal-weights, and one of the goals is to maintain a beta in a range of between 1.5 to 2.0 (riskier than the market portfolio). You evaluate the five stocks included in the portfolio, which have the following betas: [b1], [b2], [b3], [b4], [b5]. What is the portfolio beta? Type your as decimal (do not multiply by 100). Round to the nearest 2-decimals if needed.
