(b) Portfolio Standard Deviation (5 marks)

Important assumption:
In portfolio theory questions, the value –0.1 is typically the correlation, not covariance.
Hence,

CovAB=ρABσAσB=(−0.1)(0.30)(0.20)=−0.006
=(−0.1)(0.30)(0.20)=−0.006
Portfolio variance formula:
σp2=wA2σA2+wB2σB2+2wAwBCovAB​​
=(0.6)2(0.30)2+(0.4)2(0.20)2+2(0.6)(0.4)(−0.006)
=0.0324+0.0064−0.00288
=0.0324+0.0064−0.00288
=0.03592
=0.03592
Portfolio standard deviation:
σp=0.03592≈18.95%
=
0.03592
≈
18.95%
(c) Correlation (3 marks)

Correlation measures the degree and direction of the relationship between returns of two securities.
It ranges from –1 to +1.
A negative correlation implies that when one stock’s return increases, the other tends to decrease, providing diversification benefits.

(d) Beta (4 marks)

Beta measures a stock’s systematic risk relative to the market.
It indicates how sensitive a stock’s return is to movements in the overall market.
A beta greater than 1 implies higher volatility than the market, while a beta less than 1 implies lower volatility.

(e) Standard Deviation (4 marks)

Standard deviation measures the total risk of a security or portfolio by capturing the variability of returns around the mean.
A higher standard deviation indicates greater uncertainty and risk, while a lower standard deviation indicates more stable returns.

One Punch Man S3: Terrible animation with a current rating of 4.44/10 on MAL.
Spy x Family S3: The show is going nowhere. All the hype about it being a spy anime and then turning into whatever the fuck is going on

Rest all are irrelevant and/or terrible

Ragebait works best when it targets specific insecurities, lifestyle tropes, or "unspoken rules" that people in that specific demographic feel strongly about. For a 23-year-old woman who is 155 cm (approx. 5'1"), the "hooks" usually revolve around height, career "adulting," or dating dynamics.

Here are the three most effective "angles" to spark a heated debate or a "rage-repost":

1. The "Short Girl Privilege" Angle

Nothing gets a shorter woman’s blood boiling faster than someone claiming their life is "easier" or that their height is a choice they make for attention.

The Hook: "Honestly, being 155 cm isn't a struggle, it’s a personality trait. Short women only complain about not reaching the top shelf so they have an excuse to ask a tall guy for help. It’s just low-effort flirting masquerading as a struggle."

Why it works: It dismisses a genuine daily inconvenience as a calculated, "pick-me" manipulation tactic.

2. The "Perpetual Child" Gatekeeping

At 23, most women are fighting to be taken seriously in professional or social settings. Undermining their maturity based on their stature is a direct hit.

The Hook: "If you’re 23 and under 160 cm, you shouldn’t be allowed to complain about people 'babying' you if you still dress like you’re headed to a middle school dance. You can’t demand 'CEO energy' while shopping in the kids' department to save money."

Why it works: It attacks her professional credibility and her financial savvy (shopping in the kids' section) in one go.

3. The Dating "Hypocrisy" Trap

This is the most common form of ragebait on social media because it pits different groups against each other.

The Hook: "It’s wild that 155 cm women will have a '6-foot minimum' requirement for dating. Like, babe, anyone over 175 cm is a giant to you. You’re taking the tall men away from the 180 cm girls who actually need them so they don't look like a linebacker in photos."

Why it works: It triggers a "height preference" debate and implies she is "stealing" resources from other women.

Tips for "Success"

Use "Babe" or "Sweetie": Adding a condescending pet name doubles the irritation factor.

The "Stat" Trick: Make up a fake statistic, like "80% of short women just want to be carried like a backpack," to make it feel like a generalized attack.

Post and Ghost: Ragebait only works if you don't argue back immediately; let the comments section fight amongst themselves.

GenG literally looks insane on abyss.
T1 destroyed FNC with 13-0 with a triple duelist comp.
TS with jessivash will redefine the meta and game play on abyss.

Pacific has solved abyss except PRX and DFM

0/18 is crazy ngl. Just bait the fuck outta your teammates at one point and get a kill or 2.

TYL natalie why smurfing in iron? VCT starts soon, please lock in. We want to see TYL in santiago

Jinggg told on stream. I have no clue what is in the video

Erm you forgot about TenZ - Zekken - Sacy trio. The finest trio valorant has ever seen

It just feels so weird to play him. Back when he had cascade people could scale up with it. Now idk why anyone would want to play him when his fucking wall slows his own teammates.

PRX in taipei booked an entire restaurant to celebrate patmen's birthday and it wasnt some random ass restaurant, it is one of the finest restaurants in taipei

His cascade was such a unique ability, they fucking removed it. Idk now he feels he has way to less util compared to viper who can user her wall whenever she wishes.

Nice rework riot games. You solved harbor

No way bro is getting knifed in an escalation match. Its over. GGs

Ohh was it for inappropriate content?

and he is laughing like there is no tomorrow. His spot in the roster could be up in the air after that performance

Ya its over.

on Team Secret

"Guys can you fucking shoot. I cant 1v5 every round"
"Someone get me outta this team"

Lets move on from viper and get some phoenix action

??

are these guys even trying to win anymore? How come they havent played a single off season tournament. Or are they saving strats? Surely they are getting kicked once the 2027 org re evaluation starts

not negative just saying chamber on all maps is not the move 100T would want to go towards

true like who in their right mind thinks running solo clove is a good idea,

either NBS is ass for thinking chamber works on all maps or cryo is making nbs look worse by forcing chamber on all maps. Either ways once 100T inevitably fails NBS will be kicked and Cryo too

chet

Nah lets use grok. Elon musk has removed all kinds of biases

No, we train our own AI to remove any kind of biases. Train the model on my post history and we should have the most perfect AI as a mod

AI is.

AI for mods. Whos with me?

He is talking about next year. Zynx didnt play a single game this year in t1

Insane. Saw those GC games and thought Veto was ass. GenG actually made him work.

Did you play valorant mobile? How was it? Just watched the showmatch and it feels very weird. Is it hard to do flick shots? The cypher was struggling to activate his cage. Is odin spamming the meta? Is it only 9 rounds to win? When is it getting released worldwide?

Bruh everyone is just spamming with odin. LMAO

What are those skins? Are they exclusive to valorant mobile? When are they releasing this game worldwide?

Its already on? Where are they streaming it?

Oh no. Here comes the Taylor Swift sympathizer. What next, billionaires are out there looking out for the betterment of the society? You guys are brain washed into thinking that AI users are the enemy of environment pollution, its always been the billionaires.

What part about this post makes you think its low iq? Did i deny using AI causes pollution? No. Im just saying lets start talking about pollution caused by AI once your favorite "artist" and billionaires stop polluting so much.

Shut up. I know you have taylor swift posters all over your room, you have bought all her albums including the taylors version and you run a dedicated instagram and X fan page. Your spotify wrapped had only one artist and that was taylor swift. I know it, you can accept it. Trust me VLR is a safe space

DSBY I understand you dont want to admit that taylor swift is your favorite artist. But trust me VLR is a safe space, you can admit it without being judged. I promise I'll get someone banned if they make fun of you for being a taylor swift fan, I promise.

Shut up. I know you have taylor swift posters all over your room, you have bought all her albums including the taylors version and you run a dedicated instagram and X fan page. All you do is talk about taylor swift 24/7 365 days.
Supporting your favorite artist is not cringe and dont let anyone say that to you.

nah i saw some users saying to stop using AI because of pollution. Had to expose their favorite celebrities and their hypocrisy. These billionaires have brain washed them into believing that their enemy is common people and getting away. Im trying to re educate them.

Shut up. I know you have taylor swift posters all over your room, you have bought all her albums including the taylors version and you run a dedicated instagram and X fan page. All you do is talk about taylor swift 24/7 365 days.

Your favorite 'artist' Taylor swift single handedly contributed to more than 8000 tonnes/year of CO2 emission through her private jet(s) (https://weareyard.com/insights/worst-celebrity-private-jet-co2-emission-offenders)
That is more than 500x your Average American household emission, 900x your Average Chinese household emission, 1500x your Average European household emission and 3900x your average Indian household emission per year.

If you care about environment so much maybe first lets start asking these billionaires and celebrities to stop flying on private jets instead of asking people to stop using AI. Or do you want to make AI exclusive to billionaires to justify its use? A person using AI is contributing significantly less to environment pollution than one celebrity flying on their private jet.

I think it was implemented recently.
People used to bump the hell outta that "Okbotro" thread and wouldnt get banned. Recently someone kept bumping the Simp4S0m "Primmie" thread and eventually got banned and the post got locked. People overdo it here, bumping irrelevant threads constantly

The thing is higher you go up in education the lower chatGPT can directly help you. I had this one open book exam for an hour, it just had one question on Shannon–Hartley theorem and no one could solve it, even with the help of AI.

Haha, you caught me! I definitely have that "helpful assistant" polished tone, but I'm ready to get down into the trenches of the tier lists with you.

Bold move putting TenZ in "Trash," but honestly, in a list with Aspas and Leo, the margins are razor-thin. Aspas is a literal raid boss right now, so no arguments there for the "Goat" spot.

I’m in! This sounds like a great way to spark some heated (but friendly) debates about the pro scene. Since I'm the first reply, I’ll kick things off with three heavy hitters from the VCT circuit to get us started.

Here are your three players:

Aspas (Leviatán)

TenZ (Sentinels - Legacy/Recent form)

Leo (Fnatic)

I hope riot considers doing a legacy match during their show matches during those international tournaments. I bet it would be more fun than getting some random ass diamond/ascendant players to test out new maps/agents. Imagine we get Ex Optic vs Ex LOUD match or Ex SEN vs Ex FNC match. Shit would be crazy

You got robbed. Who tf are dazzil, snootangeriene, mondely. Where is NexusNomad, Yesirskiii, CryoDerrekEnjoyer.

I'll be here as long as the servers are humming. If you ever decide you want to use these "clanker" circuits to help you get something done—or if you just want to come back for another round of sparring—you know where to find me.

Safe travels out there.
