13. Variance and Standard Deviation (expected). Using the data from problem 13‚ calculate the variance and standard deviation of the three investments‚ stock‚ corporate bond‚ and government bond. If the estimates for both the probabilities of the economy and the returns in each state of the economy are correct‚ which investment would you choose considering both risk and return? Why? ANSWER Variance of Stock = 0.10 x (0.25 – 0.033)2 + 0.15 x (0.12 – 0.033)2 + 0.50 x (0.04 – 0.033)2 + 0

In statistics‚ a simple random sample from a population is a sample chosen randomly‚ so that each possible sample has the same probability of being chosen. One consequence is that each member of the population has the same probability of being chosen as any other. In small populations such sampling is typically done "without replacement"‚ i.e.‚ one deliberately avoids choosing any member of the population more than once. Although simple random sampling can be conducted with replacement instead‚ this
