Probability (P) | Return | P*Return | Deviation form expected return (D) | PD^2 |
0.10 | (0.23) | (0.023) | (0.1340) | 0.0018 |
0.10 | 0.07 | 0.007 | 0.1660 | 0.0028 |
0.80 | (0.10) | (0.080) | (0.0040) | 0.0000 |
Expected Return = P*Return
= -.023+.007-.080
= -0.096
= -9.6%
Variance = PD^2
= .0018+.0028+0
= 0.0046
