Let X1 and X2 be independent random variables with means μ1 and μ2, and variances σ21 and σ22, respectively. Find the correlation of X1 and X1 + X2.

Note that:

The covariance of random variables X; Y is dened by Cov(X; Y ) = E[(X - E(X))(Y - E(Y ))]. The correlation of X; Y

is dened by

Corr(X; Y ) =Cov(X; Y ) / √ Var(X)Var(Y )
