Stocks A and B have the following probability distributions of expected future returns:

a$.$ Calculate the expected rate of return, hat$(r{)}_B,$ for Stock $.)$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

$\%$

b$.$ Calculate the standard deviation of expected returns, ${}_A$ for Stock A $.)$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

$\%$

Now calculate the coefficient of variation for Stock B$.$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A$?$

Stock A:

Stock B:

Are these calculations consistent with the information obtained from the coefficient of variation calculations in Part b$?$
