Suppose that Y₁ and Y₂ are uniformly distributed over the triangle shaded in the accompanying figure.
3₂
(0, 1)
(-1,0)
(a) Find Cov(Y₁ Y₂).
Cov(Y₁, Y₂)
=
(b) Are Y₁ and Y₂ independent?
Yes
O No
(1, 0)
(c) Find the coefficient of correlation for Y₁ and Y₂.
P=
y/₁
(d) Does your answer to part (b) lead you to doubt your answer to part (a)? Why or why not?
O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) # 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily dependent.
Since Cov(Y₁ Y₂) # 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be dependent.
O Since Cov(Y₁, Y₂) = 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be independent.
O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) = 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily independent.
6. (Sec. 5.1) Two headlights of a car have the following joint pdf for their useful lifetimes X (the left
