Hello guys
I’m having trouble understanding why the answer is A.
Please who can help?
Thanks
The z-scores of bonds and stocks are -0.4 [(0 - 2)/5] and -0.66666666 [(0-10)/15], respectively. Whichever asset class has the higher z-score will have more area (i.e. more probability) in the left tail.
B should be a little more than 95% instead of 99%; C should be using a z-score of (3-2)/5 = 0.2.
As the dividing line between negative and positive returns is 0%, you should compare the z-score for 0% for stocks to the z-score for 0% for bonds.
So . . . what are those numbers?
Bonds = -0.4
Stocks=-0.67
So . . . which is bigger:
?
Bonds
Thank you so much. I get it now
My pleasure.
