2.5 seems way too low for a portfolio.

I feel like I might be overthinking this. I remember that the answer should be less than the highest individual standard deviation, but I’m torn between 6.9 and 7.7.

I think the standard deviation is supposed to reflect the risk of the portfolio, but I’m confused about how to combine the individual variances.

This question feels similar to one we did in our last mock exam, but I can't recall the exact formula we used for the portfolio's standard deviation.

I remember we practiced calculating standard deviation in class, but I’m not sure if I got the weights right for each security.

Wait, what? This question is throwing me off. I don't remember learning how to calculate portfolio standard deviation. I better review my notes before attempting this.

Okay, I think I know how to do this. I just need to apply the portfolio variance formula using the given weights and variances. Shouldn't be too tricky.

Hmm, I'm not sure how to approach this. The question doesn't provide much information about the individual securities. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a standard portfolio risk calculation question. I'll need to use the given weights and variances to compute the portfolio standard deviation.

Hmm, I wonder if the correct answer is 'all of the above' because the question is so confusing. That's usually the trick, right?

I see your point, but I still think it's 3.5 because of the diversification benefits of having 3 securities.
