This assignement just need a little editing to it.
What you discussed under the introduction for the company background was basic. To score higher, your discussions need to include some specific details about Microsoft as a business, for example, its operations, products/services, strategies, major competitors, financials, etc. Plus even some content on how recent news or events impacted the company’s business operations or strategies and investors’ views about the company. All of these help to provide a well-rounded picture of Microsoft as a business to better contextualize its stock performance and activities therein. Typically your company introduction should be a minimum of 1-2 pages.
Again, I think you did an okay job with your interpretations of the descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation). But not practically exhaustive if your analysis was based on five years worth of data instead of 2-year, as it appears to be. Remember, assessment 3 calls for in-depth analysis based on a longer period of data as a requirement. According to Yahoo Finance, 5-years stock prices for MSFT were traded at low as $64.89 and high as $344.63 from 4/19/2017 to 04/12/2022 This is the data that your analysis of descriptive statistics should be based on. I will be expecting that you recompute the mean. median, mode, and standard deviations based on five years of data and supported by a well-detailed explanation. Review the assessment instruction for full coverage before you resubmit if desire to.
