Explanation / Answer

Explanation:

E(R) = (0.15 + 0.114) / 2 = 0.264 / 2

E(R) = 0.132 or 13.2%

Standard deviation = [(0.5) 2 (38) 2 + (0.5) 2 (56) 2 + 2 * (0.5) * (0.5) * (38) * (56) * (0.5)]

Standard deviation = 361 + 784 + 532

Standard deviation = (1677 / 12) 1/ 2

Standard deviation = 11.8215

Prob = 0.132 – ( 1.96 * 11.8215 ) = -23.038

Smallest expected loss = -23.038 %
