    1. Rail Haul

    2. Poker R - Us

    3. Idol staff

    Explanation:

    The computation of the coefficient of variation is shown below:

    As we know that

    Coefficient of variation = Standard deviation : average return * 100

    For Rail Haul, it would be

    = 25% : 12% * 100

    = 208.3333

    For Idol staff, it would be

    = 35% : 15% * 100

    = 233.3333

    For Poker R-us, it would be

    = 20% : 9% * 100

    = 222.22

    Now we know that the highest coefficient of variation leads to high risk so the rank is as best to worst

    1. Rail Haul

    2. Poker R - Us

    3. Idol staff
