Answer:

d.mitigating

Explanation:

This is a mitigating factor. A mitigating factor is a fact of relevance as it can reveal the motivations of the crime. Although not sufficient to absorb the defendant, except in cases of self-defense, when there is evidence of mitigating factors, this can be used to soften a defendant's penalty if it is proven that the motive for the crime was not misleading. A good example is the case in which the defendant committed a murder, and he was sentenced to death, but there is a mitigating factor: the defendant suffered physical abuse for years and killed his attacker. The jury can understand that the defendant committed the crime due to the suffering caused by the victim, which would be different from a crime motivated by trite motives. Thus, the death penalty can be understood as disproportionate and it can be reversed to a less severe penalty.

What is the standard deviation of a stock that has a 10% chance of earning 18%, a 10% chance of making 11%, a 40% chance of maki
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

A. 7.95%.

Explanation:

Calculate the expected rate of return for the investment as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text { Expected rate of return } &=(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of return })+(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of return })+\\&(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of retum }) \\=&(0.40 \times 15 \%)+(0.50 \times 10 \%)+(0.10 \times-3 \%) \\=& 0.06+0.05-0.003 \\=& 0.107

Calculate the standard deviation of the investment as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text { Standard deviation }=&\left\{\begin{array}{l} \text { Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)+ \\\text { (Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)+ \\\text { (Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)\end{array}\right.

=\sqrt{\left(0.40 \times(0.15-0.107)^{2}\right)+\left(0.50 \times(0.10-0.107)^{2}\right)+} \\=\sqrt{0.0007396+0.0000245+0.0018769} \\=\sqrt{0.002641} \\=0.05139066063011
