Answer:

Expected return= 0.165

Standard deviation = 0.07762

Explanation:

Given the following :

State - - - - - - - probability - - return

Boom - - - - - - - 0.4 - - - - - - - - 25%

Good - - - - - - - - 0.3 - - - - - - - 15%

Level - - - - - - - - 0.1 - - - - - - - - 10%

Slump - - - - - - - -0.2 - - - - - - - -5%

Expected return on investment :

Probability × rate of return

(0.4 × 25%) + (0.3 × 15%) + (0.1 × 10%) + (0.2 × 5%)

(0.4 × 0.25) + (0.3 × 0.15) + (0.1 × 0.1) + (0.2 × 0.05) = 0.165

= 16.5%

Standard deviation = √variance

Variance = probability × (return - expected return)^2

Variance = 0.4(25-16.5)^2 + 0.3(15-16.5)^2 + 0.1(10-16.5)^2 + 0.2(5-16.5)^2

Variance = 0.4(8.5)^2 + 0.3(-1.5)^2 + 0.1(-6.5)^2 + 0.2(11.5)^2

Variance = 0.4(72.25) + 0.3(2.25) + 0.1(42.25) + 0.2(132.25)

Variance = 60.25%

Standard deviation = √60.25

Standard deviation = 7.7620873%

= 0.0776208

= 0.07762 ( 5 decimal places )

Explanation:

The gross domestic product (GDP) is the value in terms of money of every finished goods and services that are made within a country at a particular period of time. In the above question, since the community the community now spends​ $800,000 less on its police officers, expenditure will also reduce by $800,000. This means that the GDP falls by $800,000 because the gross domestic product include service expenses.

Welfare means the well-being of the individuals in the society. In this scenario, the expenses of the residents will be reduced but the crime rate remains the same. Therefore, the change in GDP does not accurately reflect the welfare.
