Question: Measures of Central Tendency - Expected Value Stock Return Probability of that Return Expected Return / (Return x Probability) 5% 20% 1.00% 10% 55% 5.50%

Measures of Central Tendency - Expected Value
Stock Return Probability of that Return Expected Return / (Return x Probability)
5% 20% 1.00%
10% 55% 5.50%
20% 25% 5.00%
1%+5.5%+5% = 11.5%

11.5% = Expected Value of the Stock Return

Hello! I'm confused how they got the 1%, 5.5%, and 5% in the third column?

Can someone write out the equations for me? This feels like it should be obvious but, I can't for the life of me figure it out. Thanks!
