The system says the variance and covariance are wrong but the mean is correct. Not sure why it is wrong.
a) Mean Return of the stock fund =0.05
*-40%+0.25*-14%+0.40*17%+0.3*33% =11.20%
Variance =0.05*(-40%-11.20%)^2 + 0.25*(-14%-11.20%)^2+ 0.40
*(17%-11.20%)^2+0.3*(33%-11.20%)^2=0.0446
b.Mean return of bond =0.05*-9%+0.25*15%+0.40*8%+0.30*-5%
=5%
Covariance
=0.05*(-40%-11.20%)*(-9%-5%)+0.25*(-14%-11.20%)
*(15%-5%)+0.40*(17%-11.20%)* (8%-5%)+ 0.3*(33%-11.2%)*(-5%-5%) =
-0.0086
