Question

An analyst develops the following capital market projections.

Assuming the returns of the asset classes are described by normal distributions, which of the following statements is correct?

选项:

A.On average 99% of stock returns will fall within ± 30% from the mean.

B.Bonds have a higher probability of a negative return than do stocks.

C.The probability of a bond return ≤ 3% is determined using a Z-score of 0.25.

解释:

Solution

B is correct. A negative return is any return that is less than zero. The chance of a negative return falls in the area to the left of 0% under a standard normal curve. By standardizing the returns and standard deviations of the two assets, the likelihood of either asset experiencing a negative return may be determined: Z-score (standardized value) = (X ? μ)/σ

Z-score for a bond return of 0% = (0 ? 2)/5 = ?0.40.

Z-score for a stock return of 0% = (0 ? 10)/15 = ?0.67.

For bonds, a 0% return falls 0.40 standard deviations below the mean return of 2%. In contrast, for stocks, a 0% return falls 0.67 standard deviations below the mean return of 10%. 0.40 of a standard deviation is less than 0.67 of a standard deviation. Negative returns therefore occupy more of the left tail of the bond distribution than the stock distribution. Thus, bonds are more likely than stocks to experience a negative return.

A is incorrect because on average 95% of returns will fall in the interval μ ± 2σ (which is 30%).

C is incorrect because the Z-score for a 3% bond return is calculated as Z = (X ? μ)/σ = (3 ? 2)/5 = 0.20.

请老师详细解答,对概率的理解还是不到位

同学你好,

A选项:根据置信区间知识点里要求背诵的几组关键值,可知99%的观测值会落在距离均值±2.58个标准差的范围内。由于stock的标准差为15%,所以正确的描述应为On average, 99% of stock returns will fall within ± 38.7% from the mean.(2.58×15=38.7);

换个角度,如果距离均值的范围是±30%,则相当于30%/15%=2个标准差,由于95%的置信区间对应的关键值为±1.96,和2很相近,所以可以近似的说On average, 95% of stock returns will fall within ± 30% from the mean.

C选项: 由于债券服从的是普通正态分布,bond return ≤ 3%的概率无法直接查表,所以需要做标准化后,通过查标准正态分布表(z表)得到答案。

代入正态分布标准化的公式z=(X-μ)/σ,可得z-score=(3%-2%)/5%=0.20,并不是选项中给出的0.25.
