问题如下:
An investment has probabilities of 0.1, 0.3, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.1 of giving one-year returns equal to 30%, 20%,10%, 0%, and -10%.
Suppose that there are two investments with the same probability distribution of returns as above. What is the total mean and standard deviation of returns if the correlation between them is 0.2?
选项:
解释:
The total mean return is 10%.
The expected squared return is 0.024 so that the standard deviation of the return is or 11.8%
standard deviation of returns is or 9.14%
数学太差,这个expected squared return is 0.024是怎么来的? 这个求标准差的公式 \sqrt{0.024-0.1^2}=\sqrt{0.014}=0.118也不明白。
