The Normal distribution curve is a bell-shaped curve formed based on the frequency distribution of the observations The mean or average of the observations and their standard deviation define the normal distribution curve.

Standard deviation refers to the variation in the actual observations from the average. Z-Score helps to know how many numbers of standard deviations is the raw score or outcome away from the average or mean.

You are analyzing a stock that has the following returns given the various states of economy. State of Economy Probability Return       Recession 0.12 -7.20 Normal  0.68 6.80 Boom 0.2 15.40 What is the expected return on this stock?
suppose your expectations regarding the stock market are as follows: State of the Economy Probability HPR Boom 0.2 42% Normal growth 0.6 23 Recession 0.2-17 E(r) = Σss = 1p(s)r( s) Var(r)=\sigma 2 = Σss = 1p(s)[r(s)-E(r)]2 SD (r)=\sigma = Var(r) ✓ Required: Use above equations to compute the mean and standard deviation of the HPR on stocks. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
