Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:

RA $=2\%+0\mathrm{.}40$RM $+$ eA

RB $=1\mathrm{.}8\%+0\mathrm{.}9$RM $+$ eB

$\backslash$sigma M $=15\%$; R$-$squareA $=0\mathrm{.}30$; R$-$squareB $=0\mathrm{.}22$

Assume you create portfolio P with investment proportions of $0\mathrm{.}70$ in A and $0\mathrm{.}30$ in B$.$

$1.$ What is the standard deviation of the portfolio? $($Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to $2$ decimal places.$)$
