The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearset hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i. e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))

Here is the complete question.

State of the Economy            Probability of                  Percentage Returns

                                                the States

Economic recession                        25%                           5%

Moderate economic growth           55%                           10%

Strong economic growth                20%                           13%

The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))

standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76

Explanation:

From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.

The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.

Here;

the potential outcome = Probability of the States

chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns

∴

Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 ×  10%) + (0.20 × 13%)

Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%

Expected return = 9.35%

Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²

Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²

Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266

Variance = 0.0763

Finally; the standard deviation =

standard deviation =

standard deviation = 0.276

To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have

standard deviation = 2.76

b

explanation:

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive

goods

physical products

services

tasks that a business perform for customers

resources

items that people can use to make or obtain what they need or want

determine

to settle or decide by choice of alternatives or possiblities
