Given the following:
– stock a expected return= 0.28, standard deviation = 0.40
– stock b expected return= 0.16, standard deviation = 0.25
if stock a and stock b have a positive correlation of 0.48, which portfolio represent the minimum variance portfolio?

(1) weight of stock a in the minimum variance portfolio:

(2) weight of stock b in the minimum variance portfolio:

(3) the expected return and standard deviation of this minimum variance portfolio: and

can you explain how to do these?
