You are considering two mutual funds as an investment. The possible returns for the funds are dependent on the state of the economy and are given in the accompanying table. State of the Economy Fund 1 Fund 2 Good 42 % 42 % Fair 13 % 15 % Poor −7 % −17 % You believe that the likelihood is 14% that the economy will be good, 56% that it will be fair, and 30% that it will be poor. a. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of returns for Fund 1. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
You are considering two mutual funds as an investment. The possible returns for the funds are dependent on the state of the economy and are given in the accompanying table.
State of the Economy | Fund 1 | Fund 2 | ||
Good | 42 | % | 42 | % |
Fair | 13 | % | 15 | % |
Poor | −7 | % | −17 | % |
You believe that the likelihood is 14% that the economy will be good, 56% that it will be fair, and 30% that it will be poor.
a. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of returns for Fund 1. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case
you're satisfied with the answer
I have used appropriate formulae for calculating mean and standard deviation of returns of Fund 1
