RISK How does we Measure Risk? Understanding the nature of the risk is not adequate unless the investor or analyst is capable of expressing it in some quantitative terms.

The statistical tool often used to measure is the standard deviation

Homework 2 1. Consider a sample with data values of 27‚ 25‚ 20‚ 15‚ 30‚ 34‚ 28‚ and 25. a) Compute the mean‚ median‚ and mode. b) Compute the 20th‚ 65th‚ and 75th percentiles. c) Compute the range‚ interquartile range‚ variance‚ and standard deviation. Answers: Data values: 15‚ 20‚ 25‚ 25‚ 27‚ 28‚ 30‚ 34 a) Mean: [pic]= ∑xi/n = (15+20+25+25+27+28+30+34) / 8 = 204 / 8 = 25.5 Median: Even number‚ so median is = (25+27)/2 = 26 Mode: Most frequent number
