Answer:

A. 3.82

Explanation:

First, find the expected return of the stock;

E(r) = SUM(prob * return)

E(r) = (0.35 * 0.15  ) + (0.65 * 0.07)

= 0.0525 + 0.0455

=0.098 or 9.8%

Next, use the variance formula to find the stock's standard deviation;

σ² = 0.35( 0.15 - 0.098)² + 0.65( 0.07 - 0.098)²

σ² = 0.0009464 + 0.0005096

σ²  = 0.001456

As a percentage, it becomes; 0.001456 *100 = 0.1456%

The variance is therefore 0.1456%

Find standard deviation;

Standard deviation = SQRT (0.001456)

STDEV = 0.03816 or 3.82%
