Question

P12-7 Calculating Returns and Variability [LO1]

Using the following returns, calculate the arithmetic average returns, the variances, and the standard deviations for X and Y. (Pay particular attention to the format of your answer. The answers for the returns and standard deviations need to be given in % format, however, the answers for the variances need to be given in DECIMAL format. Remember that the variance is a squared return, therefore it cannot be stated in % format. Do not include the percent signs (%). For average return and standard deviation round your answers to 2 decimal places, (e.g., 32.16) and for variance round your answers to 6 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161616))
