Explanation / Answer

Expected return of the stock = ?Probabilitya * Expected returna

= .10 * .02 + .60 * 0.09 + .30 * .15

= 0.002 + 0.054 + 0.045

= .101 or 10.1%

Standard deviation = ?variance

Variance of the stock is calculated as follows

Probability

Return

(Return - expected return)

(Return - expected return)^2

(Return - expected return)^2 * Probability
