Ans 5) Standard deviations of the assets in the portfolio can be a weighted average of the standard deviations of the assets in the portfolio. If the correlation between the assets is 1 then it will be weighted average of the standard deviations of the assets in the portfolio.
If the correlation between the assets is less than or greater than one then the standard deviation of the portfolio will be not equal to the weighted average of the standard deviations of the assets in the portfolio.
