In a few sentences, answer the following question as completely as you can. We routinely assume that investors are “risk-averse return-seekers” (i.e., they like returns and dislike risk).

You should recognize that basing a decision solely on expected returns is appropriate only for risk-neutral individuals. Because the beneficiaries of the trust, like virtually everyone, are risk averse, the riskiness of each alternative is an important aspect of the decision. One possible measure of risk is the standard deviation of returns. (1) Calculate this value for each alternative, and fill in the row for σ in the table. (2) What type of risk does the standard deviation measure? (3) Draw a graph that shows roughly the shape of the probability distributions for High Tech, U.S. Rubber, and T-bills.
