Answer to Question 1

The mean total return in the fourth question is now higher than that in the second question and the standard deviation in the fourth question is also higher than that in the second question. Higher proportions of the available cash are now being invested in the stocks with higher mean annual rates of return and higher standard deviations of annual returns; that is, stocks B and D.

Answer to Question 2

P(B  A ) = P(B  A ) / P(A ) = 0.12 / 0.40 = 0.30
