Using the most appropriate type of graph to present weekly closing price of the Bitcoin and provide a general description. Hint: What are the main features of this graph, is there a trend? 

Calculate the weekly return and construct a histogram. Does the data appear normally distributed? Is there evidence of outliers? Hint: the formula for a return is (Current Price – Previous price)/Previous price multiplied by 100

Calculate and interpret the three aspects of Descriptive Analysis, Location, Shape and Spread, for weekly return. 

What is the empirical probability of a loss? 

Repeat the same steps (steps 1-4 above) for three share prices in the Australia Securities Exchange: BHP Billiton (BHP) from the mining sector, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) from the bank sector, and Telstra Corporation (TLS) from the telecom sector.

Construct a 95% confidence interval of the return to Bitcoin, and interpret the interval. How does your interval change if the level of confidence is 90% and 95% respectively, and explain why. 

Construct a 95% confidence interval of the return to BHP, CBA, and TLS respectively. 

An investment advisor claimed that the return to Bitcoin is 4% while the returns to other three shares are no different from zero. Do you agree? Justify your reasoning using a two-tailed hypothesis test approach at the significance level of 5%.
