Q,3

Risk measurement is a very big component of many sectors of the finance industry. While it plays a role in economics and accounting, the impact of accurate or faulty risk measurement is most clearly illustrated in the investment sector.

Knowing the probability that a security—whether you invest in stocks, options, or mutual funds—moves in an unexpected way can be the difference between a well-placed trade and bankruptcy.

Traders and analysts use a number of metrics to assess the volatility and relative risk of potential investments, but the most common metric is standard deviation, which is a type of measure of dispersion.

Followings are the some advantages of using standard deviation as a proxy for risk-

Standard deviation helps determine market volatility or the spread of asset prices from their average price.
When prices move wildly, standard deviation is high, meaning an investment will be risky.
Low standard deviation means prices are calm, so investments come with low risk.
