2. Properties of Correlation and Covariance: Two random variables Y and Z are represented by the following relationships Y = 0.5+0.6X Z = 0.2+0.3x where X is another random variable. You can treat the variance, Var(X), as a given constant. It may help to give Var(X) a name, ie. Var(x)ox2 a. Calcuate var(Y) and Var(Z) as a function of Var(X). Which is hrger? b.

6. (a) State the definition of the covariance Cov(x,Y) of two random variables X and Y. (b) Consider the two continuous random variables X and Y of Ques- tion 2. with joint density f(x, y) otherwise i. Find μχ.y the expectations of X, Y respectively.
The covariance between X and Y is calculated and recorded as sXY (and is a non-zero number). A linear transformation is performed on X. The linearly transformed variable is called W, where Wi = aXi , and a is less than -2. A linear transformation is also performed on Y . The linearly transformed variable is called Z, where Zi = Yi/a. The covariance between W and Z is calculated and recorded as sW Z. In this example... (a) sXY...
Explain why could or couldn't agree with each of the statements a) Cov(y,x) and Cor(y,x) can take value between -infinity and +infinity b)If Cov(y,x)=0 or Cor(y,x)=0 one can conclude that there is no relationship between Y and X c)the least square line fitted to the points in the scatter plot of y versus has a zero intercept and a unit slope
