The random variables x and y are - Select your answer -positively relatednegatively relatedunrelatedItem 12 .
e. The variance of the sum of x and y is - Select your answer -biggersmallerthe sameItem 13 than the sum of the individual variances.
By how much?
- Select your answer -Var(x+y) is less than Var(x) + Var(y) by twice the covariance Var(x+y) equals Var(x) + Var(y) Var(x+y) is greater than Var(x) + Var(y) by twice the covariance
