Question 1
Suppose X ~ N(30, 144), and W~N(40,225).
a. If X and W are uncorrelated, find the mean and variance of X + 2W.
b. Find the probability that X + 2W > 120.
Henceforth, suppose that X and W have a correlation coefficient ρ=-.25.
c. What is the covariance of X and W?
d. Find the probability that X + 2W >120.
e. Find the probability that < X + 2W <120
Question 2
Our bank from Question 2 has decided to look more deeply into the matter of customer wait times. In addition to information on the waiting times, the bank has compiled information about the credit scores of the applicants. That is, the bank has 20 observation of the following 2 variables:
