From the prices of shares X and Y given below: Find out which is more stable in value:
![]()
Given, Data is given in the form of two table
To Find: Find out which one is more stable in value
Explanation: Let’s Find for Value X

Now, N=70
![]()
=48
![]()
![]()
SD (X)=![]()
SD (X)=
=9.9
Coefficient of variation = ![]()
Coefficient of variation =
= 20.6
Let’s Find for Value Y

Now, N=10
![]()
=105
![]()
![]()
SD (Y)=![]()
SD (Y)=
=2
Coefficient of variation = ![]()
The coefficient of variation =
= 1.90
Hence, Cv for Y is smaller that Cv of X, So X is more stable that y.
