An analyst has developed the following probability distribution for the rate of return for a common stock. ScenarioProbabilityRate of Return
10 0.34 -19%
20 0.48 8%
30 0.18 26%
a. Calculate the expected rate of return. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
b. Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Use the percentage values for your calculations (for example 10% not 0.10). Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places.

a) 2.06

b) variance = 270.90 , std = 275.14

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine Expected rate of return

attached below is the calculated table for the solution provided

∴ Expected rate of return = ∑ Xp(x) = -6.46 + 3.84 + 4.68 = 2.06

b) Determine the variance and standard deviation

Variance ( Vx ) = E(x)^2 - [ Expected rate of return ]^2

                         = 275.14 - ( 2.06 )^2 ≈ 270.90

standard deviation = √ variance = √270.90 = 16.459

note : E(x)^2 = ∑ x^2 p(x) = 275.14

the answer is vanilla

step-by-step explanation:

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.
