Zit=\alpha i+\beta imZmt+\epsi it;\epsi itiidN(0,\sigma 2\epsi )
where Zi=RiRf,Zm=RmRf,Ri
is the return on the asset i,Rf is the return on a risk-free asset, Rm is the return on the market portfolio. Which of the following is true for testing the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)?

and we divide this by \alpha ^i
c. The ratio that results from a t-test is not normally distributed asymptotically
d. None of the options
