In a certain community, levels of air pollution may exceed federal standards for ozone or for particulate matter on some days. For a particular summer season, let be the number of days on which the ozone standard is exceeded and let be the number of days on which the particulate matter standard is exceeded. Assume that the joint probability mass function of X and is given in the following table:

 

  y
x 0 1 2
0 0.10 0.11 0.05
1 0.17 0.23 0.08
2 0.06 0.14 0.06

Find Cov(X, Y). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)

Find ρX,Y. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)
