Which of the following statements regarding beta coefficient is correct?

According to the definition of beta coefficient,a stock with a high standard deviation will tend to have a high beta, which means that it contributes a relatively large amount of risk to a well-diversified portfolio.


The stand-alone risk of an individual stock, which is called its beta coefficient, b, is defined under the CAPM as the amount of risk that the stock contributes to the market portfolio.


According to the definition of beta coefficient, a stock with a high correlation with the market will also have a small beta, and hence be less risky.


We cannot obtain the beta coefficient based on the covariance between a stock and the market and the standard deviation of the market’s return.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
