since its standard deviation was greater than the standard deviation of the second stock. How would you respond to her assertion? (3 marks) Solution 1: In the first solution we calculate the expected value of the random variable or population of arithmetic mean of x and y: μ = Σ x / N = 2‚500/5 = 500 = 3‚000/5 = 600 Solution 2: The variance for x is 5‚000‚000 The variance for y is 5‚050‚000 Solution 3: The Standard deviation is found by squaring the result of
