assumptions and the strengths and weaknesses of your data. Continuous Distribution As a first cut, you might ask someone familiar with the asset to give a best possible gain and a worst possible loss. Say the numbers you get are -8% (loss) and 12% (gain). Remember that you believe the mean return is 2%. If you assume that each of the outcomes between -8% and 12% are equally likely, you can draw a uniform distribution like below: Now you can answer the questions posed at the start. The
