A program at SF State is concerned about their graduation rates. Every year they enroll 400 junior-level students, and they’ve been tracking the percent who manage to finish (graduate from) the program in a timely manner. Below are the data for the past 8 years. Express all calculations to 3 significant figures: ie. 12.3% or 0.123 (also 3-decimal spaces).

• Calculate the proportion of the class that graduates each year.
• What kind of control chart should be used in this situation? pChart Justify Why.
• Compute the 3 sigma control limits

George and June are active volunteers in their local church. George serves as an usher one Sunday morning a month. June sings in the church choir every Sunday morning and attends choir practice each Wednesday evening. Based on the distance from their home to church, June drives 500 miles a year to attend choir practice and sing on Sunday. George leaves home by himself to arrive at church early on the mornings he serves as an usher and put 120 miles on his car this year on these trips. June paid $1,000 for singing lessons to improve her voice so that she might be chosen to sing a solo at church. Are any of these expenses related to serving as an usher or singing in the church choir deductible by George or June?

please asnwer all parts of question 5

Question 5:                         Use Data5 Sheet             

                                This sheet reports monthly value of SP500 index and prices of 5 stocks.

                                REMEMBER to check the timeline order.

                Based on the whole data, create a table reporting the average monthly Return and Total Risk for each of the following stocks:

                Put both Risk and Return in percentage format (say 12.56%)

                (For Total Risk, you use the Standard Deviation based on a Sample – STDEV.S)

                Return=Price(t)/Price(t-1)-1

5a.          Report ticker of the stock with the highest average monthly return

5b.          Report ticker of the stock with the highest total risk

5c.          If you can only invest in 01 stock for only 1 month, which stock and which yearmonth will you choose to maximize your return.

                                Put in the answer sheet that the ticker (in Cap) and year month continuously, say MGM200103.
