单选题 An analyst gathers the following data about the returns for three stocks.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】
The formulas for computing the correlation coefficient and covariance between the two stocks are:
ρAB =CovAB /(σA)<σB) =0.001 /(0.05×0.08) =0.25
CovBC = ρBC×σB×σC = 0.60 × 0.08 × 0.09 = 0.0043
Note that both formulas use the standard deviation, not the variance, of each stock.
