Standard Deviation | |||
σ =√Σ(X-X̅)^2/n | |||

σ = standard deviation | |||
X= Return | |||
X̅= Expected Return | |||
n= number of observations | |||
Sr. NO | X | X - X̅ (i.e.X--0.4) | (X-X̅)^2 |
1 | 18.00 | 18.40 | 338.56 |
2 | 0.00 | 0.40 | 0.16 |
3 | -5.00 | -4.60 | 21.16 |
4 | 2.00 | 2.40 | 5.76 |
5 | -17.00 | -16.60 | 275.56 |
Total | -2.00 | 641.20 | |
X̅=Σ X/n =-2/5= | -0.4 | ||
Σ(X-X̅)^2=641.2 | |||
128.24 | |||
σ =√641.2/5 | |||
σ=11.32% | |||
Standard Deviation : 0.1132 |
