It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.3, Problem 32E

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 Netflix was 37.4 and the standard deviation was 4.1. For Hulu, the mean daily closing price was 18.6 with a standard deviation of 3.2. Which stock was more volatile?
