What is the formula for variance of returns for an individual investment?

  • $ ext{Variance} = rac{1}{n} imes igg( rac{ ext{Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2 imes P_i}{ ext{Total Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2 imes P_i} igg)$
  • $ ext{Variance} = rac{1}{n} imes igg( rac{ ext{Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2}{ ext{Total Sum of } P_i} igg)$
  • $ ext{Variance} = rac{1}{n} imes igg( rac{ ext{Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2 imes P_i}{ ext{Total Sum of } P_i} igg)$ (correct)
  • $ ext{Variance} = rac{1}{n} imes igg( rac{ ext{Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2}{ ext{Total Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2 imes P_i} igg)$
  • What is the formula for standard deviation of returns for an individual investment?

  • $ ext{Standard Deviation} = igg( rac{ ext{Sum of } (R_i - E(R_i))^2}{ ext{Total Sum of } P_i} igg)^{0.5}$ (correct)

    Variance of Returns for an Individual Investment

    • The formula for variance of returns for an individual investment is: σ² = Σ[P_i * (R_i - E(R_i))²]
    • This formula calculates the variance of returns by summing the product of each possible outcome's probability (P_i) and the squared difference between the outcome (R_i) and the expected return (E(R_i))

    Components of Variance Formula

    • R_i represents the individual possible outcomes or returns of the investment
    • E(R_i) represents the expected return of the investment, which is the mean or average return
    • P_i represents the probability of each possible outcome or return occurring
