Therefore k = 3/380,000

b) Covariance between X and Y

Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - x y

xy . K ( x 2 + y 2 ) dxdy=
E(XY) =

E(X) =

x =

Similarly, E(Y) =

30

x . f ( x ) dx= x . ( 10 K x 2+ 0.05 ) dx=25.329 psi

20

20

y =25.329 psi

Therefore, Cov(X,Y) = 641.447 25.329*25.329 = -0.111241

c) Corr(X,Y) = Con(X,Y)/ x y

x = (E ( X 2 )E ( X )2 )

30

E( X = ( 10 K x +0.05 x ) dx=649.825
2

20

Similarly E( Y =649.825

x = ( 649.82525.32925.329 )= ( 8.266 )=
Similarly

y =2.87

2.87 psi

psi

Therefore, Corr(X,Y) = (-0.111)/2.87*2.87 = -0.0134

2.
a)

is centred at 12

V[ X ]=

/n = (0.04)^2/16

Standard deviation = 0.04/4 = 0.01

b)

X is centred at 12

V[ X ] =

/n

= (0.04)^2/64

Standard deviation = 0.04/8 = 0.005

c) part (b), because it has smaller variance/std. deviation

( 2.53 ) (1.26 ) = 0.9943 0.1038 = 0.8905

b) No, it cannot be calculated (n=15<30) , n>30 to apply CLT.

4. P(-0.02 <=

P(-1.96 <= Z <= 1.96) = .95
Therefore , 0.2

=1.96 => n = 96.04

Therefore we need 97 determinations.

Central limit theorem is used.

E( T 0 ) = E(X1) + E(X2) + .+ E(X14) = 14*13 = 182

V( X i =2
V( T 0

=4

= V(X1) + V(X2) + ..+ V(X14) = 14*4 = 56

Standard deviation = sqrt(56) = 7.4833

Amount present to drink = 16*12 =192 oz

P( T 0 <192) = P(Z<1.34) = 0.9099
