Question
Each rear tire on an experimental airplane is supposed to be filled to a pressure of 40 pounds per square inch (psi). Let X denote the actual air pressure for the right tire and Y denote the actual air pressure for the left tire. Suppose that X and Y are random variables with the joint density function , for 30 , 30 f(x, y)=0, elsewhere. Find the covariance of the random variables X and Y.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 4We found in the Exercise 3.44, that the random variables and are given with the joint density function
We will find the of these variables by using the formula
Therefore, we first need to find the of and to be able to find and . Using, , we obtain:
Similarly, by the use of , we get:
