Are stock splits beneficial to stockholders?

1. Are stock splits beneficial to stockholders? SNL Financial studied stock splits in the banking industry over an 18-month period. For a sample of 20 stock splits, 15 led to an increase in investment value, 3 led to a decrease in investment value, and 2 resulted in no change. Conduct a sign test to determine if it can be concluded that stock splits are beneficial for holders of bank stocks.a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses?b) Using ? = .01, what is your conclusion?2. A poll taken during the recession in 2008 asked 600 adults a series of questions about the state of the economy and their children’s future. One question was, “Do you expect your children to have a better life than you have had, a worse life, or a life about the same as yours?” The responses showed 240 better, 310 worse, and 50 about the same. Use the sign test and ? = .01 to determine whether there is a difference between the number of adults who feel their children will have a better life compared to a worse life. What is your conclusion?3. A test was conducted for two overnight mail delivery services.
