Question: Suppose that height Y and arm span X for U.S. women, both measured in cm, are normally distributed with means E(Yi) = 168, E(Xi) =
Suppose that height Y and arm span X for U.S. women, both measured in cm, are normally distributed with means E(Yi) = 168, E(Xi) = 165, variances var(Yi) = 21, var(Xi) = 28, and covariance cov(Xi, Yi) = 20 for measurements on the same individual. For the purpose of this question, the variables are jointly normally distributed, and the values are independent for distinct individuals.
Part a: The correlation between height and arm span is ____________.
Part b: The 'albatross index' is the difference Di = Xi Yi between arm span and height.
The mean of D is E(Di) = __________
The standard deviation is sd(Di) = ____________
Part c: Find the following probabilities for one individual:
P(Di >9)=
P(Xi >Yi)=
P (Xi + Yi > 330) =
Part d: Consider now two specific unrelated individuals named i and j respectively. Compute the following probabilities:
P (Xi Xj > 10) =
P (Xi + Xj < 320) =
P(|Xi Yi|<10)=
P (|Xi Yj | < 10) =
