(a) Prove or disprove the following statements.
(i) If two random variables are independent, then the covariance between them is zero.
(ii) If cov (X, Y) =0, then X and Y are independent.
(b) Let X and Y be two discrete random variables:
P{X =x,} = P1.
P{X =x,} = 1-p,;
and
P{Y=y,} = P2,
P{Y= y2} = 1-P2-
Show that X and Y are independent if and only if the correlation coefficient between X and Y is zero.
