The analysis in each project made in the context of the chance of economical change is shower in the table.
Sate of the Economy
Probability of Occurrence Project
1 Project
3 Project
Downward (Recession) 0.6 4 6 7
No Change (Stable) 0.3 5 7 8
Upward (Booming) 0.1 12 14 16
a. Determine each project's expected return and variability in return
b. Which project yields the highest expected return and low risk
Given the probability distributions of Stock A and Stock B illustrated in the Table, calculate:
a. The expected return for each stock
b. The variability in return associated with each stock
Probability Stock A Stock B
0.4 5 4
0.25 10 11
0.15 12 14
0.1 13 15
0.1 13 16

a. What are the z values for the income of assistant managers earning between 900 and 1100 weekly? What is the percent of assistant managers earning this range of income?
b. What are the z values for the income of assistant managers earning between 800 and 1200 weekly? What is the percent of assistant managers earning this range of income?
c. What are the z values for the income of assistant managers earning between 700 and 1100 weekly? What is the percent of assistant managers earning this range of income?
d. What are the z values for the income of assistant managers earning less than 860 weekly? What is the percent of assistant managers earning this range of income?
e. What are the z values for the income of assistant managers earning more than 1050 weekly? What is the percent of assistant managers earning this range of income?
