Question

Suppose the returns on an asset are normally distributed. Suppose the historical average annual return for the asset was 6.2 percent and the standard deviation was 8.3 percent. Refer to Table A.5.

A. What is the probability that your return on these bonds will be less than -2.1 percent in a given year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Probability = 15.87%

B. What range of returns would you expect to see 95 percent of the time? (Enter your answers for the range from lowest to highest. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

95% level: -10.40% to 22.80%

C. What range would you expect to see 99 percent of the time?

Suppose the returns on an asset are normally distributed. Suppose the historical average annual return for the asset was 6.2 percent and the standard deviation was 8.3 percent. Refer to Table A.5.

Explanation / Answer

These all data i ve taken from the question only...

The mean return for the asset was 6.2 percent, with a standard deviation of 8.3 percent.

a. Part a is solved already...

so i m hellping u wid part b and c...

b. The range of returns you would expect for 95% time is the mean plus or minus 2 standard deviations

ie at 95% level: R? ?
