Expert Solution
Step 1: Given information

We have given that:

 X tilde N open parentheses 2 comma space 1 close parenthesesY tilde N open parentheses negative 1 comma space 4 close parentheses,  and c o v open parentheses X comma space Y close parentheses equals 2

i.e. mu subscript x equals 2sigma subscript x superscript 2 equals 1 and 

     mu subscript y equals negative 1sigma subscript y superscript 2 equals 4
