Question
One measure of a company's health is its debt-
to-equity ratio. If the ratio is too high, it is one
indication of financial instability. For obvious
reasons, banks often monitor the financial
health of companies to which they have
extended loans. Suppose that, in order to
reduce risk, a large bank has decided to initiate
a policy limiting the mean debt-to-equity ratio
for its portfolio of commercial loans to 1.5.
In order to estimate the mean debt-to-equity
ratio of its loan portfolio, the bank randomly
selects 12 of its commercial loan accounts.
Audits of these twelve companies found the
following 12 debt-to-equity ratios.
1.04
1.08
|1.13
1.18
1.23
|1.32
1.41
1.46
1.55
1.57
1.70
|1.77
Note: the sample standard deviation of these
12 ratios is s = 0.245
Find the mean of the 12 sampled ratios. =
