Variance and standard deviation (expected) Bacon and Associates, a famous Northwest think tank, has provided probability estimates for the four potential economic states for the coming year in the following table. The probability of a boom economy is 20%, the probability of a stable growth economy is 43%, the probability of a stagrant economy is 20%, and the probability of a recession is 17% Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of the thron investments stock, corporate bond, and government bond.
