Assets-to-liabilities ratios of healthy companies
Lower quartile from 68 companies = 1.217
Normal approximation
Simulation
Click Accumulate and take 100 or more samples.
When the error distribution contains 100 or more crosses, click Show 95% bounds for error. These bounds can be added to the estimate to give a 95% confidence interval.
For example, if 95% of estimation errors in the simulation were within about ±0.2 — the exact value varies with the simulation — then a 95% CI would be
1.217 - 0.2 to 1.217 + 0.2
i.e. between 1.02 and 1.42
Researchers in Greece found the assets-to-liabilities ratios of a sample of 68 healthy companies. Low assets-to-liabilities ratios are usually regarded as undesirable for a company.
