Amy is looking into investing a portion of her recent bonus into the stock market. While researching different companies, she discovers the following standard deviations of one year of daily stock closing prices. Garden Statues Express: Standard deviation of stock prices =$9.65 Masterful Pocketwatches: Standard deviation of stock prices =$1.05 Based on the data and assuming these trends continue, which company would give Amy a stable long-term investment?
Masterful Pocketwatches; the smaller standard deviation indicates that Masterful Pocketwatches has less variability in its closing prices than Garden Statues Express.

A manufacturer makes bags of popcorn and bags of potato chips. The average weight of a bag of popcorn is supposed to be 3.05 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.02 ounces. The average weight of a bag of potato chips is supposed to be 5.07 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.04 ounces. A factory worker randomly selects a bag of popcorn from the assembly line and it has a weight of 3.02 ounces. Then the worker randomly selects a bag of potato chips from the assembly line and it has a weight of 5.03 ounces. Which description closely matches the findings on the assembly line?
The potato chip bag assembly line is closer to the specifications given because its z-score is closer to the standard mean than the popcorn bag assembly line.
