Given the following probability distribution, what is the standard deviation of returns for Security J? (Expresss your answer in percentage, but do not include the percent sign, %, i.e., 4.65) State Pi rJ 1 0.2 8 % 2 0.6 12    3 0.2 17

A coefficient of determination of 0.6 means that \\( 40 \\% \\) of the variation in a security's return is related to factors other than the security's relationship to the market. True False
