An urn contains balls, of whichare red and 8 are blue. From this urn, 12 balls are randomly withdrawn. Let X denote the number of red and Y the number of blue balls that are withdrawn. Find Cov(X, Y)
(a) by defining appropriate indicator (that is, Bernoulli) random variables
such that
(b) by conditioning (on either X or Y) to determine
Show that is a standard normal random variable and if is defined by , then
Let be independent and identically distributed continuous random variables. We say that a record value occurs at time if for all . Show that

Successive weekly sales, in units of , have a bivariate normal distribution with common mean , common standard deviation , and correlation ..
(a) Find the probability that the total of the next weeks鈥 sales exceeds .
(b) If the correlation were .rather than ., do you think that this would increase or decrease the answer to (a)? Explain your reasoning.
(c) Repeat (a) when the correlation is .
