I actually have no idea how to do this ? Can someone explain it to me ??????

An investment strategy has an expected return of 9 percent and a standard deviation of 5 percent. Assume investment returns are bell shaped.

 

a.

  Probability  = 

 

b.

How likely is it to earn a return greater than 14 percent? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

  Probability  = 

 

c.

How likely is it to earn a return below −1 percent? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

  Probability =

http://i65.tinypic.com/dqg9io.jpg   Look at this bell curve to help

 

a  9%  + or - 5  IS 4 and 14 and this is  + or -  ONE standard deviation    From the graph you can see that 68% will fall in this range (34 +34)

 

b.  14+2 = 16%

 

c. That is TWO standard deviations from 9   9 -5-5 = -1     Look at the graph   2% are less than this
