question 156

Short Answer

TABLE 6-6
According to Investment Digest, the arithmetic mean of the annual return for common stocks from 1926-2010 was 9.5% but the value of the variance was not mentioned. Also 25% of the annual returns were below 8% while 65% of the annual returns were between 8% and 11.5%. The article claimed that the distribution of annual return for common stocks was bell-shaped and approximately symmetric. Assume that this distribution is normal with the mean given above. Answer the following questions without the help of a calculator, statistical software or statistical table.
-Referring to Table 6-6, find the probability that the annual return of a random year will be more than 11.5%.
