A stock had annual returns of 3 percent, 18 percent, and -24 percent over a three-year period. Based on this information, what is the 68 percent probability range for any one given year

Respuesta :

The 68 percent probability range for any one given year is 22.08% , -16.08%.

Probability range

First step

Average return= (0.03+ 0.18- 0.24)/3

Average return=0.03

Second step

ó= (0.03-0.03)^2 + (0.18-0.03)^2 + (-0.24-0.03)^2

= 0+0.0225+0.0729

=0.0954

Third step

Probability=.03+2(.0954)=22.08%

Probability=.03-2(.0954)= -16.08%

Therefore the 68 percent probability range for any one given year is 22.08% , -16.08%.

The 68% probability range for any given year would be  22.08% , -16.08%.

What is the probability?

Probability indicates how likely an event is to occur in the form of a percentage and how that proposition is true.

The probability range would be calculated as follow-

Average rate of return(X) = Total rate of return/Number of years

                                          = [3%+ 8% +(- 24%)/3

                                          = 0.03%

  Deviation(σ)    = (0.03-0.03)^2 + (0.18-0.03)^2 + (-0.24-0.03)^2

                           = 0+0.0225+0.0729

                            = 0.0954

Then, the 68% Probability range would be = .03+2(.0954)=22.08%

                         Probability would be = .03-2(.0954)= -16.08%

Hence, the 68% probability range would be 22.08% to -16.08%.
