The weighted average of possible returns, with the weights being the probabilities of occurrence is referred to as the expected return. It represents the most likely outcome of an investment, taking into account the different possible results and their probability of occurrence. A probability distribution is a graphic representation of the possible outcomes and their likelihood. The standard deviation measures the variability or dispersion of returns around the average, while the coefficient of variation is a relative measure of risk-adjusted return, calculated as the standard deviation divided by the expected return.
