Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of receiving 14.7 percent or more return for long-term corporate bonds.

Introduction:

Standard deviation refers to the variation in the actual observations from the average. The probability of occurrence of values based on mean and standard deviation is as follows:

  • One standard deviation from the mean or average indicates that the values coming within the one standard deviation interval will have 2/3 or 68 percent probability of occurrence below and above the average.
  • Two standard deviations from the mean or average indicate that the values coming within the two standard deviations interval will have 95 percent probability of occurrence below and above the average.
  • Three standard deviations from the mean or average indicate that the values coming within the three standard deviations interval will have 99 percent probability of occurrence below and above the average.
