First, we multiplied Probability with Return and summed the outcome to derive Expected Return
Return for each condition is then subtracted by Expected return and then ^2.
The value is multiplied by its probability. The total of which is variance.
As variance is standard deviation squared, standard deviation is thus square root of variance.
The answer is 18.62
