Univariate Gaussians or normal distributions have a simple representation in that they can be completely described by their mean and variance. These distributions are particularly useful because of the central limit theorem, which posits that when a large number of independent random variables are added, the distribution of their sum is approximated by a normal distribution. In other words, normal distributions can be applied to most problems Recall the probability density function of the Univariate Gaussian with mean and variance...

(Remember, you must calculate a new range of outcomes for the portfolio.) Briefly explain why the standard deviation for the portfolio would be less than the weighted average of the standard deviations...

. In probability theory, the Normal Distribution (sometimes called a Gaussian Distribution or Bell Curve) is a very common continuous probability distribution. Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known. Describing the normal distribution using a mathematical function is called a probability distribution function (PDF) which is given here: H The mean of the distribution ơ-The standard deviation f(x)--e 2σ We can...
