Based on the following information, what is the standard
deviation of returns?
State of Economy | Probability of State of Economy |
Rate of Return if State Occurs |
||
Recession | .23 | − | .091 | |
Normal | .46 | .106 | ||
Boom | .31 | .216 | ||
First we will calculate the mean return as per below:
The formula for mean is:
Mean = p1 * r1 + p2 * r2 + p3 * r3
where, p1,p2 and p3 are the probabilities and r1,r2 and r3 are the returns.
Putting the given values of the probability in the above formula, we get,
Mean = (0.23 * -.091%) + (0.46 * .106%) + (0.31 * .216%)
Mean = -.02093 + 0.04876 + 0.06696
Mean = 0.09479
Now, steps for calculating standard deviation are:
First we will calculate the deviation of returns from the mean return as per below:
Recession : -0.091 - 0.09479 = 0.18579
Normal : 0.106 - 0.09479 = 0.01121
Boom 0.216 - 0.09479 = 0.12121
In the next step, we will square the deviations computed above, as per below:
Recession: (0.18579)2 = 0.0345179241
Normal: (0.01121)2 = 0.0001256641
Boom : (0.12121)2 = 0.0146918641
In the next step, we will multiply the squared deviations computed above with their probabilities as per below:
Recession: 0.0345179241 * 0.23 = 0.007939122543
Normal: 0.0001256641 * 0.46 = 0.000057805486
Boom: 0.0146918641 * 0.31 = 0.004554477871
In the next step we will add up the values calculated above to find the variance, as per below:
Variance = 0.007939122543 + 0.000057805486 + 0.004554477871 = 0.01255141
In the final step, we will square root the variance calculated above to find the standard deviation:
Standard deviation = (0.01255141)1/2 = 0.11203306
