问题如下:
Annual returns and summary statistics for three funds are listed in the following exhibit:
The fund with the highest absolute dispersion is:
选项:
A.Fund PQR if the measure of dispersion is the range B.Fund XYZ if the measure of dispersion is the variance C.Fund ABC if the measure of dispersion is the mean absolute deviation解释:
C is correct. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of Fund ABC's returns is greater than the MAD of both of the other funds.
, where is the arithmetic mean of the series.
MAD for Fund ABC =
MAD for Fund XYZ=
MAD for Fund PQR=
A and B are incorrect because the range and variance of the three funds are as follows:
The numbers shown for variance are understood to be in "percent squared" terms so that when taking the square root, the result is standard deviation in percentage terms. Alternatively, by expressing standard deviation and variance in decimal form, one can avoid the issue of units. In decimal form, the variances for Fund ABC, Fund XYZ, and Fund PQR are 0.0317, 0.0243, and 0.0110, respectively.
本题并未明确计算MAD和方差是按照总体还是样本进行计算,即分母取n还是n-1,课程中老师说金融类的一般是按照样本计算的,为什么本题又是按照总体n计算的MAD。
