Question: Let us consider two alternative portfolios, A and B, having uncertain rates of return. The rate of returns of the two portfolios are normally distributed with means µA and µB , and standard deviations σA and σB , which are given in the following table:

Portfolios µ σ
A 10.4 1.2
B 13.3 4.2

a) Calculate the coefficient of variation for portfolios A and B. Compare the coefficient and comment on which portfolio you would invest on?

b) Which of the two investments has a higher probability of yielding a rate of return larger than 10%
