问题如下:
Given the probability matrix above, what is the covariance of returns on Portfolio A and Portfolio B?
选项:
A. 0.02
B. -0.0546
C. -0.16
解释:
B is correct.
E(RA)=0.4*(-10%)+0.3*10%+0.3*30%=8%
E(RB)=0.4*50%+0.3*20%+0.3*(-30%)=17%
Cov(RA,RB)=0.4*(-10%-8%)*(50%-17%)+0.3*(10%-8%)*(20%-17%)+0.3*(30%-8%)*(-30%-17%)= -0.0546
老师,cov小于0,说明两个随机变量反向,我没明白是什么意思。
