Given below is a bivariate distribution for the random variables x and y.
f(x, y)
x y
0.3 50 80
0.2 30 50
0.5 40 60
(a)
Compute the expected value and the variance for x and y.
E(x)=41 
E(y)=64 
Var(x)=49 
Var(y)=124 
(b)
Develop a probability distribution for 
x + y.
x + y
f(x + y)
130 .3 
80 .2 
100 .5 
(c)
Using the result of part (b), compute 
E(x + y)
 and 
Var(x + y).
E(x + y)
=105 
Var(x + y)=
Compute the covariance and correlation for x and y. (Round your answer for correlation to two decimal places.)
