angusmyers | I don't know if i agree with this... you could hypothetically have a uniform distribution on returns (satisfying the non 'normal distribution') but a uniform distribution is not skewed left or right? Could the same be said for a bimodal distribution? Hence I think only II should be the correct answer. Thoughts? |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
