Based on the return and standard deviation calculations for the two portfolios from Part a, is it clear whether one portfolio outperformed the other over this time period? Do not make any additional calculations to answer this question. Portfolio A earned a -Select- return and a -Select- : andard deviation than Portfolio B. Therefore, it -Select- clear that one portfolio outperformed the other over this time period C.
