Let X and Y be independent random variables with means x,y and variances o,
oy. Find an expression for the correlation of XY and Y in terms of these means and
variances.
A random variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a variance of 500, and a random variable Y is normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a variance of 400. The random variables have a correlation coefficient equal to -0.5. Find the mean and variance of the random variable:W = 5X - 4Y
Let X be a random variable and Y = aX + b with a ̸= 0. Show that the correlation between X and Y is either +1 or −1. State the conditions which make the correlation equal to +1.
