Task:
Would like someone to explain how to estimate stock price volatility and apply it to this question.
Question:
Suppose that observations on a stock price (in dollars) at the end of each of 15 consecutive weeks are as follows:
30.2, 32.0, 31.1, 30.1, 30.2, 30.3, 30.6, 33.0, 32.9, 33.0, 33.5, 33.5, 33.7, 33.5, 33.2
Estimate the stock price volatility. What is the standard error of your estimate?
