Answer:
Average return = mean = 15%
Standard deviation = 20%
Approximately 68% of the returns fall within one standard deviation of mean:
That implies 68% of times return will be between (15% + 20% = ) 35% and (15% - 20% = ) - 5%.
Hence number of time return will be less than - 5% is = (100% - 68%) / 2 = 16%
Hence in 100 years expected number of years the investment will lose more than 5% = 16
