Abstract

In this chapter we will calculate numeric summary measures on the rate of return of the S&P 500, Amazon, and Walmart. Statistical numerical numbers look at data in five different ways. The five different ways are measure of central location, measure of variability, measure of relative standing, measure of share, and measure of linear relationship. We will look at the weekly, monthly, and annual rate of return from 2008 to 2015. 2008 was the year of the great recession. Since 2008 we have seen the market improve tremendously.
