4. I don't understand why you are bringing up daily risk

The figures seem to be for a period of one year.

If you consider a batter a baseball. They have a batting average that can be expressed as a probability based on the historic lieklihood they will get a hit during any at bat. Assuming the batting average is constant, if a player batting .200 average gets to bat 100 times we expect about 20 hits.
