Random variable: The change in closing stock prices of the different companies for the year on a
daily basis
Parameter under study: Average of the changes in closing stock prices of the company for the year
on a daily basis.
Null hypothesis:
H0: M1=M2=M3 where M1 is the mean of the population 1, M2 the mean of population 2, and M3
the mean of population 3.
Alternative hypothesis:
Level of significance (alpha) is the probability of the occurrence of Type I error. The level of
significance as taken as 5%.
Under H0 (where H0: M1=M2=M3), degrees of freedom is (r-1)(n-r) where r is 3 and n is 150.
F2,147 = 2.60
When critical value of studentized range distribution(q0) corresponding to r and (n-r) degrees of
freedom is 3.31.
The p-value is 0.5147, which is greater than the level of significance (alpha). Hence the null
hypothesis is not rejected.

Conclusion:
The null hypothesis is not rejected which indicates that the average returns obtained by Infosys, TCS
and HCL are equal throughout the 5 consecutive years from 2011 to 2016. Also there is no significan
difference between any of the three companies from the year 2011 to 2016.

CONCLUSION
Since the null hypothesis is not rejected the average returns of Infosys is equal throughout from
2012 to 2016. Hence there is no significant difference in the change in closing price of Infosys from
the year 2012 to 2016.
From the graph of confidence interval for group means we can conclude that Infosys had the highest
returns in the FY 2013 and the lowest returns in the FY 2014. Some of the reasons for this decline
were the following;
Infosys revenues grew by 5.8 per cent against a forecast of 6.5 per cent growth. Infosys CEO
S.D.Shibul said the miss was on account of slower deal ramp-ups, pricing decline and adverse cross-
currency impact.
But the company managed to make up the return during the FY 2015 and maintained it without
much loss in FY 2016

CONCLUSION
Since the null hypothesis is not rejected the average returns of TCS is equal throughout from 2012 to
2016. Hence there is no significant difference in the change in closing price of TCS from the year
2012 to 2016.
From the graph of confidence interval for group means we can conclude that TCS had the highest
returns in the FY 2016 and the lowest returns in the FY 2014.
The company is progressing well after the decline in FY 2014, as we can see the consistent increase
in returns after 2014.

CONCLUSION
Since the null hypothesis is not rejected the average returns of Infosys is equal throughout from
2012 to 2016. Hence there is no significant difference in the change in closing price of HCL from the
year 2012 to 2016.
From the graph of confidence interval for group means we can conclude that HCL had the highest
returns in the FY 2013 and the lowest returns in the FY 2014.
FINAL CONCLUSION
We can see that all the three companies have the lowest returns in the FY 2013-2014.Ths is
because of the biggest disappointment in the full year dollar sales outlook for 2013-14. Also the
companies have recovered from this decline of returns during the succeeding years (2015 and
2016).
