Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of security Y in the minimum variance portfolio is shown below:-

Weight of security X = Standard deviation of security Y ÷ (Sum of the standard deviation of securities)

= 39% ÷ (39% + 27%)

= 39% ÷ 66%

= 59.01%

Weight of security Y = 1 - Weight of security X

= 1 - 59.01%

= 0.41
