Answer 1

	YEAR	RETURN OF X	(X -Average Return of X)^2		RETURN OF Y	(Y -Average Return of Y)^2
	1	14.00	40.960000		41.00	585.640000
	2	-13.00	424.360000		-9.00	665.640000
	3	11.00	11.560000		23.00	38.440000
	4	18.00	108.160000		-13.00	888.040000
	5	8.00	0.160000		42.00	635.040000
	Total	38.00	585.200000		84.00	2812.800000
a)	Average Return =	Total Return / NO of years			Total Return / NO of years
		38 / 5			84 / 5
		7.6			16.8
b)	Variance =	sum of (X -Average Return of X)^2 / (no of years - 1)			sum of (Y -Average Return of Y)^2 / (no of years - 1)
		585.20 / ( 5 - 1)			2812.80 / ( 5 - 1)
		146.300000			703.200000
c)	Standard Deviation =	Square root of Variance			Square root of Variance
		Square root of 146.3			Square root of 703.2
		12.10			26.52
