    Theorem is a mathematical representation that helps one to calculate conditional probability. It relates inverse representation of the probabilities concerning two events. This theorem is named after the British Mathematician Thomas Bayes. It is represented by P(A‚ B)= P(A B) P(B) or P (A‚ B)=P(B A)P(A) So P(A|B)P(B) = P(B|A)P(A) The Law of Total Probability: P(B) = P(B/A).P(A) + P(B/A′) . P(A′) Total probability and multiplication rule: P(A/B) = P(B/A).P(A) (multiplication

    return is the weighted average of the estimated returns in the different states of the world‚ where the probabilities of each outcome are the weights. Each outcome is multiplied by its probability and all products are then summed together. Expected Return can be calculated with the following formula: [pic] where: [pic]: The expected rate of return - E(r) Pi : The probability of the i-th outcome. ri : The i-th possible outcome. n : The number of possible outcomes.
