        The portfolio standard deviation formula is:
        σp = √[(w1^2)(σ1^2) + (w2^2)(σ2^2) + 2(w1)(w2)Cov(R1, R2)]

        We have:
        w1 = 15,000 / 20,000 = 0.75
        w2 = 5,000 / 20,000 = 0.25
        σ1 = 0.3
        σ2 = 0.1
        Cov(R1, R2) = 0.05

        Therefore,
        σp = √[(0.75^2)(0.3^2) + (0.25^2)(0.1^2) + 2(0.75)(0.25)(0.05)] = 0.2645
