The expected value of a normal distribution of prices for a stock is $66. If you are 99 percent sure that the price of the stock will be between $57 and $75, then what is the variance of the stock price? (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 52.750.)
Variance of Stock Price?
Here first we have to calculate standard deviation
At 99% confidence level Z score is = 2.576
Mean = 57 + 75 / 2 = 66
Z =( X- mean ) / standard deviation
X = random variable = 75
2.576 = (75 - 66) / Standard deviation
So , standard deviation = 3.493789
Variance = standard deviation^2
Variance = (3.493789)^2 = 12.207
