Do bonds reduce the overall risk of an investment portfolio? Let x be a random variable representing annual percent return for t

he Vanguard Total Stock Index (all Stocks). Let y be a random variable representing annual return for the Vanguard Balanced Index (60% stock and 40% bond). For the past several years, assume the following data. x: 14 0 39 25 32 27 28 14 14 15 y: 6 2 29 17 26 17 17 2 3 5 Compute the coefficient of variation for each fund. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

COV (all stocks) = 0.55

COV (stocks and bonds) = 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient of Variation is used to measure variability.

It is defined as the ration of standard deviation and the mean.

It can be used to compare variability of two population or two samples.

Formula:

\text{Coefficient of Variation} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Standard Deviation}}{\text{Mean}}

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

x: 14, 0, 39, 25, 32, 27, 28, 14, 14, 15

Mean = \frac{208}{10} = 20.8

Standard~Deviation = \sqrt{\frac{1169.6}{9} } = 11.39

Coefficient~of~Variation = \frac{11.39}{20.8} = 0.55

y = 6, 2, 29, 17, 26, 17, 17, 2, 3, 5

Mean = \frac{124}{10} = 12.4

Standard~Deviation = \sqrt{\frac{924.4}{9} } = 10.13

Coefficient~of~Variation = \frac{10.13}{12.4} = 0.82%

Since coefficient of variation of x is less compared to y, thus it could be said bonds does not reduce overall risk of an investment portfolio.

Your reasoning is correct, but you made a mistake with your long division.

1248/98 = 12 remainder 72

       __12_
98 |  1248
        -  98
        --------
           268
          -196
         --------
              72

What is the standard form of the following equation?
scZoUnD [109]

y = 2(x - 1)² + 4

y = 2(x² - 2x + 1) + 4

y = 2x² - 4x + 2 + 4

y = 2x² - 4x + 6

What is 1/4=1/12+1/z
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {z = 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of z:

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{z}

-The variable z cannot equal to 0 since division by zero is undefined. SO, you multiply both sides by 12z, which is the least common multiple of 4, 12, and z:

3z = 12z \times (\frac{1}{12}) + 12

3z = z + 12

-Take -z and subtract it from 3z:

3z - z = z - z + 12

2z = 12

-Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2z}{2} = \frac{12}{2}

\boxed {z = 6}

So, the value of z of 6.
