Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Covariance measures the directional relationship between the returns on two assets. A positive covariance means that asset returns move together while a negative covariance means they move inversely. Zero covariance indicates that the returns on the two assets move independently of each other. In the context of a scatter plot, zero covariance is represented by a plot where the points do not show any upward or downward trend but are rather scattered randomly on the graph with no discernible pattern.

Graph 4 displays such a pattern where there is no apparent relationship between the variables on the x and y axes, indicating that there is zero covariance between them.

I'm just glad they're not asking us to increase ARPU by 50%. That would be a real head-scratcher!

C is interesting, but I disagree. In a highly competitive market, focusing on ARPU is important for revenue growth, even if it means not increasing the customer base as much.

A is also a good point. The target should specify a timeline for when the increase needs to be achieved, not just by the end of the year.

I think the correct answer is D. The target is missing the specific product group or line it pertains to. Without that information, it's hard to really measure and achieve the 5% increase in ARPU.

True, the target should be more specific to make it achievable and measurable.

I think we should also consider increasing customer base along with ARPU to stay competitive.

I agree, without knowing which product group the target is for, it's hard to focus efforts.
