Hah, good one! Maybe we can convince the proctor to let us use our phones. 'It's for a more accurate calculation, I swear!'

Hold up, are we sure we can't just use a calculator for this? I mean, who actually wants to do the math by hand these days?

You know, I was thinking the same thing. 12.90% just has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Although, I shouldn't be choosing answers based on how they sound!

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option B, 12.90%. The distribution looks somewhat symmetrical, and that feels like a reasonable standard deviation for stock returns.

I am not so sure. I think option D, 13.50%, could also be a valid standard deviation for the given distribution.

I agree with Keneth. Option C does seem like a reasonable choice for the standard deviation.

I think option C, 10.50%, might be the standard deviation. It seems like a stable value.

Oh man, this is going to test our understanding of statistics. I think the key here is to really focus on calculating the standard deviation from the given probability distribution.

This question is definitely going to be a tough one. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the probability distribution format, it looks a bit confusing.
