QNT 565 Week 6 calculations NEW

Select 20 stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and document whether each went up or down during the preceding 5-day period (Monday – Friday). So you will present a table with five days of the week and how many went up and how many went down on each day.
Perform the following calculations using Microsoft® Excel®:
• Perform steps in testing a research hypothesis about days of the week.
• Use a chi-square test to determine if these data indicate that trading on some days is better or worse (more or less likely to earn a positive return) than on other days. (Note: This is just for the week studied. You would not be able to draw conclusions about that specific day for any other week in any other month/year.)
• Determine how to present the results.
Develop a 350 – 400 word conclusion in which you include the following:
• Determine what conclusions we might draw from the results.
• Explain how the results might (or might not) influence one’s decision to trade any given stock during the week.
