GRAPH: Fahad’s Investment

The data points below represent the value of Fahad’s investment account over the last 15 years. Fahad wants to summarize the trends in his account, so he finds the line of best fit.

null

Based on his regression, Fahad wrote the equation for the line of best fit:

y = 275x + 881.

What is the slope of the line of best fit?
What does the slope represent in this scenario?

Estimate Fahad’s investment value after 15 years…

a. Using the data points.

b. Using the line of best fit.

Do you think the line of best fit gives you a good prediction? Why or why not?

Learn It

Measuring Goodness of Fit

We can measure how well a model, like Fahad’s line of best fit, matches the data points given by using a statistical measure called r squared

Read the notes below and answer the questions that follow.

null

In your own words, what does r^2 (r squared) tell you?

Summarize: Looking at a graph, how might you know if a model had an r squared value close to 1?

Practice It

Part I:

null

Part II: Fahad’s Investments and r squared

Let’s return to Fahad’s investment from the start of the lesson. Fahad used a linear regression model to explain his investment’s value, but we could also use an exponential model. Compare the models and answer the questions.

null

Part 1:

null

Model A

Model B

Model C

null

What is the r^2 value of the linear model? What does that tell you?

Write the equation for the exponential model by substituting in the provided values for a and b. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Predict Fahad’s investment value after 20 years…

a. Using the linear model.y=

b. Using the exponential model.y=

DESMOS: Exponential Regression in Investing

Link in google classroom

In earlier lessons, you learned how to find the line that best fits a data set using a linear regression model. We can do the same thing with exponential functions. Follow your teacher’s instructions to complete this Desmos activity which will be graded separetly in X2.

Application Problems

Part I: Robo Advisors

Robo advisors have been growing in popularity ever since they were first made available to the public approximately 15 years ago. The data points show how many billions of dollars were managed by robo-advisors each year since 2010 in the US. The curve is an exponential regression model for the data.

null

Based on the model, approximately how many assets did robo advisors have under management in 2015? billion

Here are the results of the exponential regression. Write the equation for the exponential model by substituting the values for a and b into the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth.

null

Based on the regression, what is the average annual growth rate of robo-advisor’s assets under management? %

Based on the exponential regression model, predict the assets under management for robo-advisors in 2025.

Do you think this model provides an accurate prediction for the future? Why or why not?

Level 2

Complete the table by writing the equation and r2 values based on the regression results. Round to the nearest hundredth.

null

Bond Fund Stock Fund

Equation:

1. Based on the regression model, what is the average annual rate of return of the Stock Fund?

2. Amar decides to invest $100 in the Stock Fund. He learns it has a total expense ratio of 0.03%. Write an equation to model the predicted value of his investment after x years.

3. Based on the regression model, what is the predicted price of the Bond Fund after 15 years?

4. Why does the exponential function of best fit for the Bond Fund appear almost linear?

5. Which fund is more volatile? Explain your reasoning.

6. Which fund do you think would be a better long-term investment? Why?
