Answer:

-1.0

Explanation:

Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.

The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.

In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.

Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.

Car X can come with any of these 5 additional features: sunroof, stereo, tinted windows, leather seats and cruise control.
Law Incorporation [45]

This question is incomplete! here is the complete question with answer!

Car X can come with any of these 5 additional features: sunroof, stereo, tinted windows, leather seats and cruise control.

Quantity A : Number of different combinations possible

Quantity B : 25

A The quantity in Column A is greater

B The quantity in Column B is greater

C The two quantities are equal.

D The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer:

A The quantity in Column A is greater

Explanation:

Lets first analyze the number of different combinations possible!

To find out the combinations we use the following formula:

The number of ways to choose a sample of r elements from a set of n distinct objects where order does not matter.

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Car X can have these 5  features: sunroof, stereo, tinted windows, leather seats and cruise control.

Car X has 2 options for each feature: Included or Not included

If car X has no feature at all then:

5C0=\frac{5!}{0!(5-0)!}=\frac{5!}{0!*5!}=1

If car X has 1 feature included then:

5C1=\frac{5!}{1!(5-1)!}=\frac{5!}{1!*4!}=5

If car X has 2 features included then:

5C2=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=\frac{5!}{2!*3!}=10

If car X has 3 features included then:

5C3=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5!}{3!*2!}=10

If car X has 4 features included then:

5C4=\frac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}=\frac{5!}{4!*1!}=5

If car X has all of the 5 features included then:

5C5=\frac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}=\frac{5!}{5!*0!}=1

Now sum all the possible combinations: 1+5+10+10+5+1=32

So, quantity A is 32 and quantity B is 25

Therefore, we can conclude that the quantity in column A is greater
