As the CFO of a global manufacturer, you have been asked to investigate if you should allow payments to be made using Bitcoin, as this would simplify exchange across numerous currencies. The downside of using Bitcoin is its volatility. Recently, Bitcoin value has been swinging up and down very quickly. If you decide to use Bitcoin, you will save about 1% on every transaction because you do not need to pay currency exchange fees (e.g. to convert US dollars to euros).

You have collected some data on Bitcoin prices, and you have used this data to see how large minute-over-minute swings in prices are. You then looked at the distribution of these price swings and are now trying to assess the potential risk of using Bitcoins to receive payment from international customers. To gauge the impact, you are looking at ten upcoming transactions and are wondering the potential impact of using Bitcoins to facilitate these transactions.
