From the prices of shares X and Y below, find out which is more
stable in value:
The group having more Coefficient of Variation will be more variable.
Coefficient of Variation (C.V.) = 𝜎/𝒙 ̅ × 100
where 𝜎 = Standard Deviation
𝒙 ̅ = Mean
Finding standard deviation & mean of both Group A and Group B.
But as the data given is raw data,
Hence, there is no values for frequency (𝑓_𝑖)
So, the formulas used here will be:
Mean (𝒙 ̅) = (∑▒𝑥𝑖)/𝑛
where n = number of terms
Variance (𝜎)2 = 1/𝑛^2 [𝑁∑▒〖𝑥𝑖〗^2 −(∑▒𝑥𝑖)^2 ]
For X
Mean (𝒙 ̅) = (∑▒𝑥𝑖)/𝑛 = 510/10 = 51
Variance = 1/𝑛^2 [𝑁∑▒〖𝑥𝑖〗^2 −(∑▒𝑥𝑖)^2 ]
= 1/〖(10)〗^2 [10 × 26360 − 〖(510)〗^2]
= 1/100 [263600 − 260100]
= 3500/100
= 35
Standard Deviation = √𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
= √35
= 5.91
For Y
Mean (𝒚) = (∑▒𝑦𝑖)/𝑛 = 1050/10 = 105
Variance = 1/𝑛^2 [𝑁∑▒〖𝑦𝑖〗^2 −(∑▒𝑦𝑖)^2 ]
= 1/(10)^2 [10 × 110290 − 〖(1050)〗^2]
= 1/100 [1102900 − 1102500]
= 400/100
= 4
Standard Deviation = √𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
= √4
= 2
Covariance = 𝜎/𝑥 ̅ ×100
= 5.91/51 ×100
= 11.58
Covariance = 𝜎/𝑦 ̅ ×100
= 2/105 ×100
= 1.904
∴ Covariance of X > Covariance of Y
So, X is more variable than Y
∴ Y is more stable than X.
