Reading 9  Probability Concepts (Layout)
#concerta-session #has-images #reading-cheese-with-stick

Section 2 Sets out the basic tools of probability, including expected value and variance

Section 3 introduces covariance and correlation (measures of relatedness between random quantities) and the principles for calculating portfolio expected return and variance.

Two topics end the reading: Bayes’ formula and outcome counting.

Bayes’ formula is a procedure for updating beliefs based on new information.

The reading ends with a discussion of principles and shortcuts for counting. In several areas, including a widely used option-pricing model, the calculation of probabilities involves defining and counting outcomes.

Reading 9  Probability Concepts Introduction
nvestors must also cope with variability. We present variance, or dispersion around expectation, as a risk concept important in investments. The reader will acquire specific skills in using portfolio expected return and variance. <span>The basic tools of probability, including expected value and variance, are set out in Section 2 of this reading.
