Question

The covariance of X and Y is > 0, which of the following statement is a correct one?

As X increases, Y decreases

As X decreases, Y decreases

As X increases, Y stays the same

X and Y are independent of each other

Definition Definition Measure of how two random variables change together. Covariance indicates the joint variability or the directional relationship between two variables. When two variables change in the same direction (i.e., if they either increase or decrease together), they have a positive covariance. When the change is in opposite directions (i.e., if one increases and the other decreases), the two variables have a a negative covariance.
