Question

need the probability

Suppose the returns on an asset are normally distributed. Suppose the historical average annual return for the asset was 7.6 percent and the standard deviation was 8.6 percent. What is the probability that your return on this asset will be less than -9.3 percent in a given year? Use the NORMDIST function in Excel(R) to answer this question. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, (e.g., 32.16)) What range of returns would you expect to see 95 percent of the time? (Enter your answers for the range from lowest to highest. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places, (e.g., 32.16)) What range would you expect to see 99 percent of the time? (Enter your answers for the range from lowest to highest. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places, (e.g., 32.16))

Explanation / Answer

Probabilty = normdist(z,mean,standard deviation, cumulative)

Probabilty = normdist(-9.3,7.60.8.60,1)

Probabilty = 2.47%
