Calculation:
15%*0.2 + 20%*0.4 + 30%*0.3 + 35%*0.1 = 23.5%

Answer:
The expected value of the rate of return is 23.5%

 

Answer: The expected value of the rate of return is 23.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Annual Return                   Probability

15%                                       0.2

20%                                      0.4

30%                                      0.3

35%                                      0.1

We need to find the expected value of the rate of return:

As we know the formula for "Expected value ": [tex]E(x)=\sum xp(x)[/tex]

So, it becomes,

[tex]E(X)=15\times 0.2+20\times 0.4+30\times 0.3+35\times 0.1=23.5\%[/tex]

Hence, the expected value of the rate of return is 23.5%.
