Data Analysis
Y^= 0.0118 -0.1121x
Where x=Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd.
In the data, n= 47; R^2= 0.001609983; F-value= 0.0693
The above regression equation tells us the relationship between X and Y, where Y= Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. and X= Nifty 50 prices.
The negative sign implied that there is an inverse relationship between them; if the price rises of Nifty 50 then the price of Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. falls and vice versa.
From the equation, it can be seen if X rises by 1 unit, Y will fall by 0.1121 units (t-stat for b=-0.2633).
The figure in bracket is t-stat for b, which is less than the table value (2.571), which implies that b is not statistically significant at 5% level.
R^2 is 0.0016 which means 0.16% of Y is explained by X and the balance is error.
F= 0.0693 which is less than the table value, which means overall the model is not statistically significant at 5% level.
Conclusion
Based on the research methodology and data analysis performed we can conclude that only 0.16% of Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. can be explained by Nifty 50 and the remaining is attributed to the functioning and the policies of Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. Since F value is lesser than the table value, b value is not significant. The model can be relied upon to analyse the risk factors and the analysis can depend on this model.
