Expert Solution
Step 1: Given information.

For the random variables X and Y, the following information is given:

mu subscript X equals 1.5 mu subscript Y equals 2 sigma subscript X equals 1 sigma subscript Y equals 1.5 Cov left parenthesis X comma Y right parenthesis equals 0.36

The random variable Z is defined as Z equals negative 2 X plus 4 Y plus 1.
