Using five years of past data, you estimate that a stock’s expected return for the coming year is 14% and its risk (standard deviation) is 9%. Assuming returns are normally distributed, there is approximately a 95% probability that next year’s return will fall within which of the following ranges?

Carson Inc.’s manager believes that economic conditions during the next year will be strong, normal, or weak, and she thinks that the firm’s returns will have the probability distribution shown below. What’s the standard deviation of the estimated returns? (Hint: Use the formula for the standard deviation of a population, not a sample.) Do not round your intermediate calculations.   Economic Conditions   Prob.   Return Strong   30%   34.0% Normal   40%   10.0% Weak   30%   -16.0% ​
