a. Explanation Given info: X and Y are random variables, a and b are the constants. Calculation: The covariance of a random variables X and Y can be written as, C o v ( a X , b Y ) = μ a X × b Y − μ a X μ b Y = μ a b X Y − a μ X b μ Y = α b μ X Y − a b μ X μ Y = a b ( μ b. To determine Prove that ρ a X , b Y = ρ X , Y if a > 0 and b > 0 .

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Hint for the first part of question 2: To assist you with filling out the table in the first part of the question,…
