Probability
Return
0.1
-15.0%
0.25
0.0%
0.3
8.5%
0.25
12.0%
0.1
32.0%
what is the expected return?
When, if ever, will the geometric average return exceed the arithmetic average return for a given set of returns?
Never
When the set of returns includes only risk-free rates.
When all of the rates of return in the set of returns are equal to each other.
An investment has probabilities 0.15, 0.34, 0.44, 0.67, 0.2 and 0.15 of giving returns equal to 50%, 39%, -4%, 20%, -25%, and 42%. What are the expected returns and the standard deviations of returns?
