(Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).

Answer:

12.4

Explanation:

We need to,first of all, determine the arithmetic average return of all the returns, which is the sum of the returns divided by the number of returns

average return=(6%+3%+18%+3%)/4

average return=7.50%

Years return (return-average return) (return-average return)^2

1          6.00%        -1.50%                            0.022500%

2          3.00%       -4.50%                             0.202500%

3         18.00%         10.50%                               1.102500%

4         3.00%       -4.50%                               0.202500%

        average return 7.50%           variance 1.530000%

                   standard deviation=variance^(1/2) 12.4%
