Input your answers from lowest to highest to receive credit for your answers. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

 

 

What about 95 percent of the time?

Expert Solution

(1) Computation of Range of Returns for 68% of the time:

Range of Returns for 68 percent of the time = Mean +/- 1 * Standard Deviation

= 5.2% - (1*8.5%) and 5.2% + (1*8.5%)

-3.30% to 13.70%

 

(2) Computation of Range of Returns for 95% of the time:

Range of Returns for 95 percent of the time = Mean +/- 2*Standard Deviation

= 5.2% - (2*8.5%) and 5.2% + (2*8.5%)

-11.80% to 22.20%
