in relation to the market index. It is calculated as: Beta (Mobil) = Covariance (Return of Mobil oil‚ Return of Market) / Variance (Return of Market). Using Linear least squares‚ the estimated beta is the same as that calculated using Regression analysis on Excel. Estimated Beta is 0.714 which implies that the total return of Mobil Oil’s stock is likely to move up and down 71.4% of the time when the market changes. As 0.714 < 1‚ Mobil Oil’s stock is less volatile than the overall Market Portfolio

Technologies facility over the span of 1268 simulated days. Our team finished the simulation in 3rd place‚ posting $2‚234‚639 in cash at the end of the game. We did intuitive analysis initially and came up the strategy at the beginning of the game. And then we applied the knowledge we learned in the class‚ did process analysis and modified our strategies according to the performance results dynamically. We have reinforced many of the concepts and lessons learned in class and had a better understanding

1. What is the difference between R2 and adjusted R2? R2 is a statistic that will give some information about the goodness of fit of a model. In regression‚ the R2 coefficient of determination is a statistical measure of how well the regression line approximates the real data points. An R2 of 1.0 indicates that the regression line perfectly fits the data. Adjusted R2 is a modification of R2 that adjusts for the number of explanatory terms in a model. Unlike R2‚ the adjusted R2 increases only if
