 Consider the following table:  | 
| Stock Fund | Bond Fund | ||
| Scenario | Probability | Rate of Return | Rate of Return | 
| Severe recession | 0.05 | –30% | –9% | 
| Mild recession | 0.25 | –10% | 15% | 
| Normal growth | 0.40 | 15% | 8% | 
| Boom | 0.30 | 20% | –5% | 
| b. | 
 Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Mean return" value to 2 decimal place and "Variance" to 2 decimal places.)  | 
| Mean return | % | 
| Variance | |
| c. | 
 Calculate the value of the covariance between the stock and bond funds. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)  |
