Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Mean return = (5 + 15 + 30 + 110)/4 = 40, so
variance = (5 - 40)2 + (15 - 40)2 + (30 - 40)2 + (110 - 40)2/(4 -1 )
= 2,283.33. So, standard deviation = the square root of the variance = 47.78.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: The variance for large stocks was 278.89, and for small stocks the variance was 843.32.
