| True | False | Statements |
| The median P/E ratio for the alternative companies is at least 150% higher than the median P/E ratio for the conventional companies. | ||
| For market capitalization, adjusting each of the values to the median would require a greater percent change for the lowest-ranked company than for the highest-ranked company. | ||
| The average dividend yield would remain the same if the lowest reported dividend yield were 10% higher and the highest reported dividend yield were 10% lower. |
