2. Statistical measures of stand-alone risk Remember, the expected value of a probability distribution is a statistical measure of the average (mean) value expected to occur during a possible circumstances. To compute an asset's expected return under a range of possible circumstances (or states of nature), multiply the anticipated return expected to result during each state of nature by its probability of occurrence. Consider the following case: Ethan owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Happy Dog Soap Company (HDS) and Black Sheep Broadcasting (BSB). Three- quarters of Ethan's portfolio value consists of HDS's shares, and the balance consists of BSB's shares. Each stock's expected return for the next year will depend on forecasted market conditions. The expected returns from the stocks in different market conditions are detailed in the following table: Market Condition Probability of Occurrence Happy Dog Soap Black Sheep Broadcasting Strong 0.50 50% 70% Normal 0.25 30% 40% Weak…

8 In a supermarket, the prices marked on the signs that are placed on the shelf do not always correspond to the current price of the merchandise, since errors may occur when recording price changes. Assume that over time 60% of the price changes are increases and 40% are decreases. Assume also that 93% of the price increases are marked correctly, as are 98% of the reductions. If a price is not marked correctly, what is the probability that the change is a reduction?.
