The rate of return for firms on the stock market is normally distributed with a 7.5% average rate of return (the mean) with a standard deviation of 2.5%. A What proportion of firms will earn a return between 4% and 8%? B To the nearest percent find the probability of a firm earning 3% or less per year. If there are 1000 firms listed on the stock market, then how many firms earn a return of less than 3% a year? C To the nearest percent, find the probability of a firm earning 8% return in a year. if there are still 1000 firms listed on the stock markeet then how many firms will earn a return of 8% or higher? D What rate of return would put a firm in the top 20%?
