Let \(\mathbf{X}=\left(X_{1}, \ldots, X_{n}\right)^{\prime}\) be an \(n\) -dimensional random vector, with the variancecovariance matrix given in display (2.6.13). Show that the \(i\) th diagonal entry of \(\operatorname{Cov}(\mathbf{X})\) is \(\sigma_{i}^{2}=\operatorname{Var}\left(X_{i}\right)\) and that the \((i, j)\) th off diagonal entry is \(\operatorname{Cov}\left(X_{i}, X_{j}\right)\).
If the correlation coefficient \(\rho\) of \(X\) and \(Y\) exists, show that \(-1 \leq \rho \leq 1\). Hint: Consider the discriminant of the nonnegative quadratic function $$ h(v)=E\left\\{\left[\left(X-\mu_{1}\right)+v\left(Y-\mu_{2}\right)\right]^{2}\right\\} $$ where \(v\) is real and is not a function of \(X\) nor of \(Y\).
Let \(X\) and \(Y\) have the joint \(\operatorname{pmf} p(x, y)=\frac{1}{7},(0,0),(1,0),(0,1),(1,1),(2,1)\), \((1,2),(2,2)\), zero elsewhere. Find the correlation coefficient \(\rho .\)
A person rolls a die, tosses a coin, and draws a card from an ordinary deck. He receives \(\$ 3\) for each point up on the die, \(\$ 10\) for a head and \(\$ 0\) for a tail, and \(\$ 1\) for each spot on the card \((\) jack \(=11\), queen \(=12\), king \(=13) .\) If we assume that the three random variables involved are independent and uniformly distributed, compute the mean and variance of the amount to be received.
