Objective
To calculate beta of company and find its significance
Data Collection:
Data was collected from the NSE Website which comprises of historic data for the past 1 year. The Friday of each week of the year was taken into consideration. The resultant was calculated and regression was performed on the data.
Data Analysis:
We know Y= a +bx1
Where b is the beta value.
H0 – Null Hypothesis
H1 – Alternate Hypothesis
If the beta coefficient is significant, the interpretation is that for every 1-unit increase in the predictor variable, the outcome variable will increase by the beta coefficient value.
Observations:
It was found that R Square is 95%, the regression Equation was found to be
Y= 0.37626 + 0.957X
Here Beta value is 0.957
H0: Nifty is not influencing the weekly returns of GAIL.
H1: Nifty is influencing the weekly returns of GAIL.
Here as the F value is 969.64 which is Greater than 4, thus we do not accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis, concluding that nifty is influencing the weekly returns of GAIL.
Also, the Significance F value is 0.0 which is less than .025 thus the model is significant.
