\mu=75,\sigma=7 calculate z-scores for 80 and 88 as z_1=\frac{80-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{80-75}{7}\approx0.7143 z_2=\frac{88-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{88-75}{7}\approx1.8571 refer to any z-score calculator or table to get P(0.7143 < Z < 1.8571) = 0.2059 approx required probability = 0.2059

A mutual fund manager has a $350 million portfolio with a beta of 1.10. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio’s risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio’s required return will be 9.20%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio’s beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?
