Instructions

To use this online calculator to calculate expected return and standard deviation, you need to type in the series of return and their respective probabilities. Assume we have the following series of returns 0.35 0.1 -0.2 and the associated probabilities are 0.4 0.3 0.3. You will need to ensure that the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 and that the number of returns are the same as number of probabilities

  • At first you will have to type in the returns in the first of the text boxes where each return is separated by a space such as 0.35 0.1 -0.2
  • Follow this by typing in the series of probabilities of each of the returns such as 0.4 0.3 0.3
  • Finally a click on the CALCULATE button will display the expected return of 0.11 and standard deviation of 0.2278
