An analyst develops the following covariance matrix of returns:
The correlation of returns between the hedge fund and the market index is closest to:
选项:
A.0.005.
B.0.073.
C.0.764.
解释:
C is correct.
The correlation between two random variables Ri and Rj is defined as ρ(Ri,Rj) = Cov(Ri,Rj)/σ(Ri)σ(Rj). Using the subscript i to represent hedge funds and the subscript j to represent the market index, the standard deviations are σ(Ri) = 2561/2 = 16 and σ(Rj) = 811/2 = 9. Thus, ρ(Ri,Rj) = Cov(Ri,Rj)/σ(Ri) σ(Rj) = 110/(16 × 9) = 0.764
这个表格具体意思没看懂, variance 是怎么求出来的
