Students have asked these similar questions
The probability distribution of a less risky return is more peaked than that ofa riskier return. What shape would the probability distribution have for (a)completely certain returns and (b) completely uncertain returns?
Some financial theorists consider the variance of the distribution of expected rates of return to be a good measure of uncertainty. Discuss the reasoning behind this measure of risk and its purpose.
Which one of the following statements is correct?
Group of answer choices
The lower the average return, the greater the risk premium.
The greater the volatility of returns, the greater the risk premium.
The lower the volatility of returns, the greater the risk premium.
The risk premium is not affected by the volatility of returns.
The risk premium is unrelated to the average rate of return.
