Chapter 14.3, Problem 31E
In Exercises 31 and 32, we present information on the performance of various stocks during a given month. Stocks with higher coefficients of variation are considered more volatile.
Comparing stocks. Suppose for a given month that the mean daily closing price for Apple Inc. common stock was 123.76 and the standard deviation was 12.3. For Dell stock, the mean daily closing price was 78.6 with a standard deviation of 7.2. Which stock was more volatile?
