Question 1118817: If someone could help me with this particular math problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. I definitely; don't understand how to compute the "Standard Deviation". Thanks.
Question:
When we are considering what stocks we want to add to our portfolio we often look at not only the returns of stocks over the years but also the risk. One of the ways to compare the risks of stocks is to look at their standard deviations. The stocks with the lower standard deviations are less risky. What follows are the prices of stock "A" over the last 6 years. Compute the standard deviation.
(32,18,26,25,30,37).
