Answer:

Variance = 0.02141851

Explanation:

We first calculate the mean for the stocks

Mean = (0.1858 - 0.0558 + 0.2081) / 3

Mean = 0.3381 / 3

Mean = 0.1127

Variance = [(0.1858 - 0.1127)^2 + (- 0.0558 - 0.1127)^2 + (0.2081 - 0.1127)^2] / 3 -1

Variance = [0.0731^2 + (-0.1685^2) + 0.0954^2] / 2

Variance = 0.00534361 + 0.02839225 + 0.00910116 / 2

Variance = 0.04283702 / 2

Variance = 0.02141851

The variance of returns is 0.02141851

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Probably not, because Alyssa made a mistake about the dog's value, not a mistake about material fact.

Explanation:

When Sierra offered to sell the dog to Allysa, Allysa failed to discuss the ancestry of the puppy. She wrongly believed the dog came from a line of champions.

On finding out the dog is only worth $200, she will not be able to rescind the contract because the onus to ask all relevant questions about the purchase before accepting is on her.

She made the mistake of assuming the dog was worth $800. She made a mistake about the dog's value and not the material fact.
