Using the data from problem 1, now, assume the correlation between stock and bond returns is 0.25 and the correlations between stock and risk-free returns and between the bond and risk-free returns are 0 (by construction, correlations with the risk-free asset are always zero). What is the standard deviation of returns for the mutual fund with this new higher correlation? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. Do not enter % in the answer box. For example, if your answer is 0.12345 or 12.345% then enter as 12.35 in the answer box.
