a.  Given the following​ holding-period returns,CHART BELOW, compute the average returns and the standard deviations for the Sugita Corporation and for the market.

b.  If​ Sugita's beta is 1.32 and the​ risk-free rate is 6 ​percent, what would be an expected return for an investor owning​ Sugita? ​ (Note: Because the preceding returns are based on monthly​ data, you will need to annualize the returns to make them comparable with the​ risk-free rate. For​ simplicity, you can convert from monthly to yearly returns by multiplying the average monthly returns by​ 12.)

c.  How does​ Sugita's historical average return compare with the return you should expect based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the​ firm's systematic​ risk?

a.  Given the​ holding-period returns shown in the​ table, the average monthly return for the Sugita Corporation is

____​%. ​(Round to three decimal​ places.)

Given the variable as coefficient, exponent and input. Write methods that will convert the input into String in the following format:

coefficient = 1,
exponent=1
input=-3

Method 1 does not take any input, (just coefficient and exponent only) so it should return output as: "1.0 * x^1" (with inverted comma)
Method 2 takes given input, so it should return output as: "1.0 * -3.0^1" (with inverted comma) (

Note coefficient 1 and exponent 3 are now 1.0 and 3.0 in string output.

If exponent=0, then just return "1.0" in both cases.

Also, No extra inbuilt functions are allowed.

P.S: I have tried my best to make question clear. If still not clear please ask me where you did not understand. But there are some spammers who only comment "TEXT NOT CLEAR" (even text in photo is clear), "QUESTION NOT SUFFICIENT" or paste some random answers. Please don't spam this question.
Edit: Thanks a lot. Please do it on Java.

Question Set 1: Two Independent Proportions

Reminder: The standard error is computed differently for a two-sample proportion confidence interval and a two-sample proportion hypothesis test.

Researchers are comparing the proportion of University Park students who are Pennsylvania residents to the proportion of World Campus students who are Pennsylvania residents. Data from a sample are presented in the contingency table below.

1. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the proportion of all University Park students who are Pennsylvania residents and the proportion of all World Campus students who are Pennsylvania residents. If assumptions are met, use the normal approximation method. Show how you checked assumptions. You should not need to do any hand calculations. Use Minitab Express to construct the confidence interval. Remember to copy+paste all relevant Minitab Express output and always clearly identify your final answer. [15 points]

B. Interpret the confidence interval that you computed in part A by completing the following sentence. [5 points]

I am 95% confident that…

C. Use the five-step hypothesis testing procedure given below to determine if there is evidence of a difference between the proportion of University Park students who are Pennsylvania residents and the proportion of World Campus students who are Pennsylvania residents. If assumptions are met, use the normal approximation method. Use Minitab Express. You should not need to do any hand calculations. Remember to copy+paste all relevant Minitab Express output. [30 points]

Step 1: Check assumptions and write hypotheses

Step 2: Calculate the test statistic

Step 3: Determine the p-value

Step 4: Decide to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis

Step 5: State a real-world conclusion

Sidneyland is a popular theme park in Southern California that is now planning for its eventual re-opening after closing during Covid-19. In years past, New Years Eve was the single largest day of revenue earned by the park due to the high sales volume of NYE themed merchandise. However, this year it is uncertain if Sidneyland will even be opened on New Years Eve, and the time to order the 2021 apparel is approaching. The first purchase deadline is at the end of October, at which point Sidneyland can either buy the goods in full for​$100,000 or defer the decision until the end of November. At the end of November, the rush order price rises to​$150,000​. There is ​no cost nor profit if no purchase is made​. Sidneyland’s public health and data science consultants estimate that there is a​40% chance that the local Covid-19 situation improves from the end of October to the end of November, a​60% ​chance that it stays in the current most restrictive tier. If it improves, the experts predict a​90% ​chance the park is open on NYE, compared to a ​30%​ chance if it stays in the current most restrictive tier. Assuming that all goods sell for ​$200,000 if the park is open on NYE but are otherwise unsellable, answer the following questions about Sidneyland’s purchasing strategy if their goal is to maximize expected merchandise profit.

A) What are all of the different times to make a decision, and what decisions can be made at those times? ​

B) Supposing that Sidneyland defers and waits to make a decision at the end of November and supposing further that the public health scenario improves from October to November, what strategy should they take and what is the resulting expected earnings (or losses)?

C) Using the projections from the end of October, what are the expected merchandise earnings (or losses) if Sidneyland elects to defer the decision from October to November? ​

D) Using the projections from the end of October, what are the expected merchandise earnings (or losses) if Sidneyland buys the merchandise at the end of October?

E) What decision should Sidneyland make at the end of October? Explain.
