calculate monthly return rates as the percent change in monthly adjusted closing prices. Next calculate the mean, standard deviation, median (50^th percentile value), 5^th percentile value and the 1^st percentile value of monthly return rates, and create a table with these values. (Use the = PERCENTILE.INC() function in MS excel to calculate percentile values.) A normal distribution predicts than only 1% of observations are more than 3 standard deviations away (in the positive and negative directions) from the expected value. Using the average and the standard deviation, what percent of observations are more than 3 standard deviations away from the average?
