Monthly return data are presented below for each of three stocks and the S&P index (corrected for dividends) for a 12-month period. Calculate the following quantities:- Alpha for each stock- Beta for each stock- The standard deviation of the residuals from each regression- The correlation coefficient between each security and the market- The average return on the market- The variance of the market
