    So, the variance and standard deviation of each stock is:

    sA2 =.20 (.01 -.0865) 2 +.55 (.09 -.0865) 2 +.25 (.14 -.0865) 2

    sA2 =.00189

    sA = (.00189) 1/2

    sA =.0435 or 4.35%

    sB2 =.20 (-.25 -.1275) 2 +.55 (.15 -.1275) 2 +.25 (.38 -.1275) 2

    sB2 =.04472

    sB = (.04472) 1/2

    sB =.2115 or 21.15%
