Participants from a day-long conference choose from 2 lunch specials: Sirloin tips $10 or Spinach lasagna $5 and from 3 dinner specials: Lobster $25, Crab legs $20, or Thai Stir-fried vegetables $10. For a randomly selected participant, the joint probability distribution p(x; y) for X = the cost of lunch and Y = the cost of dinner is given by p(x; y) : X/Y $10 $20 $25 $5 0:30 0:20 0:10 $10 0:20 0:10 0:10 a) Find the marginal probability density functions pX(x) and pY (y) for X and for Y . b) Find the expected cost of meals for a randomly selected participant E[X + Y ]. c) Compute the correlation coe¢ cient between X and Y .

Definition Definition Relationship between two independent variables. A correlation tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
