Question: The random variables X and Y have joint probability distribution specified by the following table: y=1 y=2 y=3 x=1 0.30 0.05 0.00 x=2 0.05 0.20

The random variables X and Y have joint probability distribution specified by the following table:

y=1

y=2

y=3

x=1

0.30 0.05 0.00

x=2

0.05 0.20 0.05

x=3

0.00 0.05 0.30

Please provide all answers to the following to three decimal places. (a) Find the expectation of XY. (b) Find the covariance Cov(X,Y) between X and Y. (c) What is the correlation between X and Y? (d) Suppose the random variables X and Y above are connected to random variables U and V by the relations

X=6U+7 Y=8V+9

What is the covariance Cov(U,V)? (e) What is the correlation between U and V?
