Relative Dispersion The coefficient of variation is the ratio of the standard deviation to the arithmetic mean, expressed as a percentage: A standard deviation of 10 may be perceived as large when the mean value is 100, but only moderately large when the mean value is 500!

Copyright © 2004 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Is Fund A riskier because its standard deviation is larger? S olution

Copyright © 2004 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. But the means of the two funds are different. Fund A has a higher rate of return, but it also has a larger sd. Therefore we need to compare the relative variability using the coefficient of variation. Fund A has a higher rate of return, but it also has a larger sd. Therefore we need to compare the relative variability using the coefficient of variation. S olution
