And weekly data of equity share of the chosen company has been regressed on weekly report of NIFTY50.
Data Analysis
Regression Equation that was formed after the calculations is-
=0.441263+0.678091NiftyX+e

Figure in the bracket is T-stat and the P-Value of which is 0.1 which is more than 0.05 which means p is statistically insignificant . Also, it is more than 0.01 so we can say that p is statistically insignificant.
F is 1.980 the P-Value for which is 0.1660 which is more than 0.01 which means overall the model is statistically insignificant.
Conclusion
As from the above mentioned regression equation it can be observed that the Beta is 0.678091 which is less than 1 which states the fact that it is NOT good for investment in short term.
