    Pay-off Probability EV Payoff - Mean (Pay-off - Mean) 2. P

    $ $

    0 0.50 0 - 190 18,050

    200 0.20 40 10 20

    500 0.30 150 210 13,230

    Mean 190 Variance 31,300

    Standard deviation = √ Variance

    Standard deviation = √ 31,300

    Standard deviation = 176.92

    Explanation:

    In this case, we need to determine the mean, which is the product of pay-off and probability. Then, we will deduct the mean from the pay off. raise the difference between the pay-off and mean to power 2 and multiply by probability. This gives the variance of the pay-off. The square root of the variance of the pay-off gives the standard deviation of the pay-off.
