Answer:

percentage of returns is 16%

Explanation:

given data

average return μ = 8 percent

standard deviation σ = 12 percent

x = 20

solution

we get here

z = \frac{x-\mu  }{\sigma }     ......................1

put here value and we will get

z =  \frac{(20 - 8)}{12}  

z  = 1  

so here

P(x > 12) = P(z > 1)

= 0.1587 = 16%
