Solution Summary

The solution outlines how to arrive at the range of possible returns for a stock given several variables.

Solution Preview

The range can be determined by using the empirical rule (68-95-99.7) which states that 68% of all possible returns would fall within 1 standard deviation, 95% of all possible returns would fall within 2 standard deviations, and 99.7% of all possible returns will fall within 3 standard deviations. I know this doesn't ...
