Variability

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
Variability
The possible range of outcomes for any given event.

Notes:
Greater variability is associated with higher risk because it increases the amount of unknown possible outcomes. For example, an investment whose return experiences great changes has high variability. A security with a fixed rate of return, such as a Treasury bill, has little to no variability.
