fund promises an expected return of 9.2% with a standard deviation of 15.3%. The relatively less
risky fund promises an expected return and standard deviation of 6% and 7.5%, respectively.
Assume that the returns are approximately normally distributed.

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 4 decimal
places.
a-2. Which mutual fund will you pick if your objective is to minimize the probability of earning a
negative return?
b-1. Calculate the probability of earning a return above 11% for each fund.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 4 decimal
places.
