Drift is the mean, with the corresponding median (50th percentile) being r−σ 2 /2, which is the reason for the correction factor. Note that this is the implied probability, not the real-world probability.

All the options have the same expiration date. At expiration the value (but not the profit) of the butterfly will be: zero if the price of the underlying is below (X − a) or above (X + a)
