When looking at the correlation of a pair of assets, we say the correlation is weak (and therefore good for diversifcation) is Question 1 options: if it is close to zero as long as it's positive it is highly positive if it is close to zero - whether negative or positive if it is highly negative Question 2 (1 point) In the simplified CAPM model, the dependent variable (that is, the Y variable) is Question 2 options: The returns of...
The correlation coefficient: A, Is a number with a range from -1 to 1 B. If there is no correlation, the coefficient is negative C. If the correlation coefficient is negative, it indicates a strong positive relationship between x and y D. All of the above
If a sample size is high, n=5000, the correlation coefficient will most likely be... a. Positive b. Negative c. Significant d. Non-significant
Assume you wish to evaluate the risk and return behaviors associated with various combinations of two stocks, Alpha Software and Beta Electronics, under three possible degrees of correlation: perfect positive, uncorrelated, and perfect negative. The average return and standard deviation for each stock appears here: Asset Average Return,overbar r Risk (Standard Deviation), s Alpha 5.1% 30.3% Beta 11.2% 50.5% a. If the returns of assets Alpha and Beta are perfectly positively correlated (correlation coefficient equals plus 1),...
