In this paper a probability maximization model of a stochastic linear knapsack problem is considered where the random variables consist of several groups with mutually correlated ones. The authors propose a solution algorithm to the equivalent nonlinear fractional programming problem with a simple ranking method. This approach will be effectively applied to one of the portfolio selection problems.
