Answer:

(A) Stock A

Explanation:

A greater standard deviation is interpreted as a volatile stock. The price of the investment changes over time with a broad range, which is undesarible for the management of  investment portafolios. There is also a correlation between risk and estimated return, when the commercial activity related with the stock has a stable performance, is commonly secure, and that is the reason why is offered a low rate of return.

In comparision with the second option, the Stock A has a greater volatility and higher return rate.

Central limit theorem states that as a sample being studied grows larger the sampling distribution of samplings means tends to a more normal distribution. This is regardless of the shape of the population.

This holds true usually if the population size is n is equal or greater than 30 (that is greater than 29). It does not matter if the population is skewed or normal.

So with a sufficiently large population the means of each item will be the same as the population mean.

the opportunity cost here means the cost of the next best opportunity lost because of spending time at work, this could be 8 hours, 10 hours at work, etc.

but since they are working, they can not engage in that activity. because of this, we call it the opportunity cost! simple right?
