Q6. You would like to invest in two shares A and B. The return on these shares over the next year depends on the state of economy, which will be described as “Boom”, “Normal”, “Slow” and “Recession”. The table below shows the probability of each of these states of economy, and the expected return on each share given each possible state of the economy. The correlation coefficient between shares A and B is 0.5.
