There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
The graph illustrates changes in the price of the stock Technosoft over a period of time. The red and green lines are called Bollinger Bands, and they include the price range in which stock trades are most likely to occur based on a moving average. The blue line shows the moving average. The box plots show the common and extreme prices for sales of that stock on each trading day.
From the dropdown menus, select the options that create the most accurate statements based on the information provided.

I. During the period of Mar 01-Mar 15, the Bollinger Bands have the largest deviation from the average for the longest period of time, indicating that price during this time were varying quite a lot, making them quite volatile. Hence, Mar 01-Mar 15 is the correct answer choice.
II. Over the period, the lowest price was approximately $11 and the highest price was approximately $14. Hence, the maximum possible profit on investment is ($14-$11) / $11 =27% approximately. Hence, 27% is the correct answer choice.
Bollinger Bands include the price range in which stock trades are most likely to occur based on a moving average. The blue line shows the moving average. The box plots show the common and extreme prices for sales of that stock on each trading day.
My question here is why have we taken Bollinger bands to represent the range (which is not exactly the range, but an estimate of it based on moving avearges) and not box plots that gives us the exact values? My answers are varying because of the same. Please help

We have been given that Bollinger bands are the range in which trades are most likely to occur, not the range in which they actually occur. Bolinger bands are tech analysis tools that help us invest - they indicate the price the stock will take based on volatility. They are not created after the stock moves up or down.
Also, the answer to question 2 is ambiguous. We need to approximate the lowest and the highest values in the box chart but the options are too close. There should have been only 1 option in the 20 to 30 range imo.

So, the y axis here is not shown completely. Looking carefully, each marking on the y axis is on the horizontal gridline. Notice the gap between 12 and 14. 10 would lie much below and the graph has been cut (lowest point) at around 11.

hi, how did you get 11 as the lowest point?

Please let me if there is any conceptual gap in my understanding, as i can see the maximum variation in Bollinger bands in Feb 16- Feb 28 range. Also.....Is it incorrect to assume the height of every row in the graph to be 2, as we can see incremental change of 12 and 14 in the y-axis.

I would not worry about this question. The graph is not good.
