Co-efficient of Correlation
The Correlation Co-efficient is a measure of how closely
two variables move in relation to one another. If one variable
moves by a certain amount, correlation co-efficient indicates
which way the other variable moves and by how much.
Portfolio managers use the correlation co-efficient to
diversify a portfolio, removing unsystematic risk and reducing
volatility.
Co-efficient of Correlation
Sample Problem
An education research wishes to determine
the extent of relationship of the results between the
reading comprehension test and the vocabulary
test among students. There are 12 students who
became the subjects of the study:
Given:
Student RC (x) VT (y) XY 𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐
1 3 11 33 9 121
2 7 1 7 49 1
3 2 19 38 4 361
4 9 5 45 81 25
5 8 17 136 64 289
6 4 3 12 16 9
7 1 15 15 1 225
8 10 9 90 100 81
9 16 15 240 256 225
10 5 8 40 25 64
11 3 12 36 9 144
12 8 4 32 64 16
Solution:
• σ 𝑥 = 76
• σ 𝑦 = 119
• σ 𝑥𝑦 = 724
• σ 𝑥 2 = 678
• σ 𝑦 2 = 1,561
Interpretation:
• 0.00 – no correlation
• +/- 1.00 - perfect correlation
• +/- 0.01- +/- 0.25 – very low correlation
• +/- 0.26- +/- 0.50 – moderate low correlation
• +/- 0.51- +/- 0.75 – high correlation
• +/- 0.76- +/- 0.99 – very high correlation
Probability & Probability
Distribution:
Probability is the percentage chance that an event
will occur. If all possible events or outcomes are listed, and
the probability is assigned to each event, the listing is called
a probability contribution.
Example:
Outcome Probability
Win 0.6 or 60%
Lose 0.4 or 40%
TOTAL 100%
Probability Distribution
1. Probability distribution may be objective or subjective:
- Objective probability: is generally based on past
outcomes of similar events.
- Subjective probability: is based on opinions or
“educated guess” about likelihood that an event will
have a particular future outcome.
2. Probability distribution may be discrete or continuous:
- Discrete probability: is an arrangement of the
probabilities associated with the values of a variable that
can assume a limited or finite number of values
(outcomes).
- Continuous probability: is an arrangement of the
probabilities associated with the values of a variable that
can assume an infinite number of possible values
(outcomes).
Rate of return probability:
𝑟𝑝Ƽ = 𝑛
σ𝑖=1 + 𝑤𝑖 𝑟𝑖Ƽ
Where: 𝑤𝑖 = proportion of portfolio invested in asset, i
𝑟𝑖Ƽ = expected return of asset, i
n= number of assets in the portfolio
Calculation of Expected Portfolio
Returns
Case 1: Nokus Properties is evaluating two opportunities,
each having the same initial investment. The project’s risk
and return characteristics are shown below:
Project E Project F
Expected return 0.10 0.20
Proportion invested in 0.50 0.50
each project
Variance 4,335.0%
Standard Deviation 4,335% = 65.84%
Answer:
65.84%
For X’OR Products, Inc. = = 4.39
15%
3.87%
For Zamboanga Electric Company = = .26
15%
Co-variance
Co-variance is a measure of the degree to which
return on two risky assets move in tandem. By using co-
variance, a portfolio manager can determine if the
portfolio is adequately diversified.

Sample Problem:
Capital Asset Pricing Model
(CAPM)
Capital Asset Pricing Model is a model based on the
proposition that any stock’s required rate of return is equal to
the risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium that reflects only
the risk remaining after diversification. This model does not use
total risk, but only one part of total risk called systematic risk.
