Answer:

32.35% ( the probability that in any given year, the return on long-term corporate bonds will be greater than 10 percent )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data for long-term corporate bonds

Standard deviation : 8.3%

mean = 6.2%

To calculate the probability that in any given year, the return on long-term corporate bonds will be greater than 10 percent ( USING THE NORM-DIST FUNCTION )

P( x > 10% ) = 1 - P(x<10%) = 1 - NORM-DIST (10,6.2,8.3,TRUE ) = 0.3235

= 32.35%
