In calculating the risk associated with two potential projects (A & B), which of the following statistical calculations indicates that the projects are equally risky?

1. The standard deviation of  A is 100, and the coefficient of variation of A is 80.912
2. The standard deviation of B is 1,000, and the coefficient of variation of B is 809.12
3. The variance of A's possible outcomes is 258.10, and the standard deviation of A is 100
4. The variance of B's possible outcomes is 2,581, and the standard deviation of B is 1,000

• iii and iv
• ii and iii
• i and ii
• i and iv
• None of the above

The value for "a" in the regression equation Y = a + b(X) + e is shown in Excel as the slope

1. the forecasted variable
2. the intercept
3. the independent predictor variable
4. none of the above
