Sometimes‚ the realized historical returns are negative or below the risk-free rate. They must be adjusted upward – who would ever buy a stock and expect to receive a return less than the risk-free rate (if the beta is not negative)!? II. Efficient frontier construction Step 1.

concerned with simple random sampling? The main reason is to learn the theory of sampling. Simple random sampling is the basic selection process of sampling and is easiest to understand. If everyone in a population could be included in a survey‚ the analysis featured in this book would be very simple. The average value for equal interval and binomial variables‚ respectively‚ could easily be derived using Formulas 2.1 and 2.3 in Chapter 2. Instead of estimating the two forms of average values in the population
