a) Using the classes -8 - <-6, -6 - < -4, ... , 8- < 10 use PHStat to produce a frequency distribution histogram for the one-year performance data, and print them out to send to your tutor.
b) You are now asked to compare the pattern of percentage changes over one year with those over three years. This will be done by plotting percentage polygons for one year and three years on the same diagram.
The percentage changes in price, for the one-year and three-year performance data taken together, range from -6.7 to 27.5. Suggest an appropriate set of classes for the percentage polygons. Explain the reasons for your choice of classes.
Use PHStat to plot percentage polygons on a single graph for the changes in price over one year and three years, and print out the grath to send it to your tutor.
c) Another way of comparing the two performance measures is to produce a scatter diagram in which each point corresponds to a single pension fund. Use Excel to produce such a diagram, with the one-year performance on the X axis.
