each ______________ that may ______________. With the
help of a computer simulation program, ______________
can be performed calculating ______________ of return that
yield a(n) ______________ distribution of the ______________
on investments.
7. An alternative approach that applies ______________ meth-
ods to ______________ assets, known as ______________
