An investor is choosing between three investment strategies: invest all her money into project A ("Strategy A"), all into project B ("Strategy B"), or half into A and half into B ("Strategy half-half). With 30% probability the return of A is 2% and B is 1%; with 30% probability the return of A is 3% and of B is 4%, and with 40% probability the return of A is 6% and of B is 6%. Suppose that you chose Strategy half-half, invested 1million NOKs, and it turned out that the realized return of A was 3% and of B was 4%. Is your realized ROI larger or smaller than the expected ROI? How does your answer depend on the amount that you invested?
