Remember, the expected value of a probability distribution is a statistical measure of the average (mean) value expected to occur during all possible
circumstances. To compute an asset's expected return under a range of possible circumstances (or states of nature), multiply the anticipated return
expected to result during each state of nature by its probability of occurrence.
Consider the following case:
David owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Falcon Freight Company (FF) and Pheasant Pharmaceuticals (PP). Three-quarters of
David's portfolio value consists of FF's shares, and the balance consists of PP's shares.
Each stock's expected return for the next year will depend on forecasted market conditions. The expected returns from the stocks in
different market conditions are detailed in the following table:

- 2. The expected returns for David’s portfolio were calculated based on three possible conditions in the market. Such conditions will vary from time to time, and for each condition there will be a specific outcome. These probabilities and outcomes can be represented in the form of a continuous probability distribution graph. For example, the continuous probability distributions of rates of return on stocks for two different companies are shown on the following graph: Based on the graph’s information, which of the following statements is true? A. Company A has a smaller standard deviation. B. Company B has a smaller standard deviation.arrow_forwardSuppose that the annual return for particular stock follows the same distribution every year, and that the return for any given year is independent of the returns for any prior years.
