OBJECTIVE
To calculate the beta of a company and find its significance
Data Collection:
Data was collected from the NSE Website which comprises 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.
It was found that R Square is 0.00292068, the regression equation was found to be
Y= 0. 436737+0.000639X
Here Beta value is +0.000639
SUMMARY OUTPUT
Regression Statistics
Multiple R 0.054043313
R Square 0.00292068
Adjusted R Square -0.019740214
Standard Error 4.188943337
Observations 46
Interpretations:
We can see that the R square value is 0.00292068, which means that Nifty can explain
0.29 % of the weekly returns of Godrej Industries. Because the proportion is very low, we may deduce that Godrej does not follow the Nifty trend to a certain extent.

We can observe here that the Beta value is 0.000639 meaning that 1 unit change in Nifty leads to 0.000639 change in weekly returns of Godrej. We also need to note that the value is beta is positive indicating both of them are proportional to each other.
ANOVA
df SS MS F Significance F
Regression 1 2.261600407 2.261600407 0.128886343 0.72130661
Residual 44 772.0788365 17.54724628
Total 45 774.3404369
H0: Nifty is not influencing the weekly returns of Godrej.
H1: Nifty is influencing the weekly returns of Godrej.
Here is the F value is 0.128886343 which is less than 4, thus we can accept the null- hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis, concluding that nifty is not influencing the weekly returns of Godrej.
Also, the Significance F value is 0.72130661 which is more than .025 thus the model is not significant.
