Question
Chapter 8, Problem 11PS
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The correlation, coefficient and co-variance of the stocks.
Introduction: The covariance and correlation is a statistical tool to measure the return of the stocks and establish a relation between returns and securities. This tells us about the relative changes of the securities. If the relation is positive then value of correlation and co-variance are positive.
