Statistical tool and methodology
𝑯𝟎 : Mean of the bid-ask spread of game 1 = Mean of the bid-ask spread of game 2
𝑯𝟏 : Mean of the bid-ask spread of game 1 ≠ Mean of the bid-ask spread of game 2
Since p value < 0.0.5. I reject the null hypothesis and concludes that different tick size has an impact on big-ask
spread.
Note: Large priced trades (outliers) have been removed from the both the game sessions because few outliers’
trades make the entire market inefficient since those prices are far away from the true value of stock and they act as
a noise in the market. Including those trades t the set of big ask spread will bring bias to the whole analysis and
hence has been removed for the purpose of fair analysis.
