Answer to Question 1

False. The smaller the standard deviation, the smaller the associated risk. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, thus the smaller the variance, the smaller the standard deviation. The smaller the variance of the expected value, the smaller the risk.

Answer to Question 2

True. The expected value is not expected on any one outcome, because it represents the average of many outcomes.
