Requirement 2: E(rP) = [0.10 x 13%] + [0.10 x 7.40%] + [0.80 x 13%] = 1.30% + 0.74% + 10.40% = 12.44%, or 0.1244 \sigma2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} [Pi x (E(rP) - Ri)2] = [0.10 x (0.1244 - 0.13)2] + [0.10 x (0.1244 - 0.074)2] + [0.80 x (0.1244 - 0.13)2] = 0.000003136 + 0.000254016 + 0.000025088 = 0.00028224 Hide comments (2) Comments Anonymous posted 1 hour ago Edit Delete The answer for the Requirement is correct, but Requirement 2 is an incorrect answer...it's not appearing on the choice selection!
