Case Study

1. How does the presentation of the general information about EndRun on its home page affect your perception of business?
   In viewing the bar chart on EndRun’s webpage presentation (barchart) it is apparent that winners do outpace the non-winners by two-to-one among the investors who have trusted the company StockTout to invest their entire portfolios in selected mutual funds as they have also stated on their webpage. However statistics are often manipulated to represent information supporting a particular point which may or may not be the instance in this case.
2. Is EndRun’s claim about having more winners than losers a fair and accurate reflection of the quality of its investment service? If you do not think that the claim is a fair and accurate one, provide an alternate presentation that you think is fair and accurate.
3. EndRun’s "Big Eight" mutual funds are part of the sample found in the Mutual Funds.xls workbook. Is there any other relevant data from that file that could have been included in the Big Eight table? How would that new data alter your perception of EndRun’s Claims?
   There are 838 mutual funds. The table could have also included data as follows

   Fund Risk Level	Number of Funds	Percentage of Funds
   Low	247	29.47
   Average	245	29.24
   High	346	41.29
   Total	838	100

4. EndRun is proud that all Big Eight funds have gained in value over the past five years. Do you agree that EndRun should be proud of its selections? Why or why not?
