By definition of covariance,


\mathrm{Cov}(X,Y)=\mathbb E[(X-\mathbb E[X])(Y-\mathbb E[Y])]


\mathrm{Cov}(X,Y)=\mathbb E[XY-\mathbb E[X]Y-X\mathbb E[Y]+\mathbb E[X]\mathbb E[Y]]=\mathbb E[XY]-\mathbb E[X]\mathbb E[Y]


We have


\mathbb E[(aX-b)(cY-d)]=\mathbb E[acXY-adX-bcY+bd]

=ac\mathbb E[XY]-ad\mathbb E[X]-bc\mathbb E[Y]+bd


\mathbb E[aX-b]=a\mathbb E[X]-b


\mathbb E[cY-d]=c\mathbb E[Y]-d


\mathbb E[aX-b]\mathbb E[cY-d]=ac\mathbb E[X]\mathbb E[Y]-ad\mathbb E[X]-bc\mathbb E[Y]+bd


Putting everything together, we find the covariance reduces to


\mathrm{Cov}(aX-b,cY-d)=ac(\mathbb E[XY]-\mathbb E[X]\mathbb E[Y])=ac\mathrm{Cov}(X,Y)


as desired.

PLEASE HURRY 10 POINTS What is the solution to the equation 3(2x+5)=3x+4x
Lerok [7]

Answer:

D x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+5)=3x+4x

Distribute the 3

6x +15 = 3x+4x

Combine like terms

6x+15 = 7x

Subtract 6x from each side

6x+15 -6x = 7x-6x

15 =x

We are given that Jaime has blown out a number of candles equal to his age on each of his birthday till now and he is 9 years old now so the total number of candles blown by him all his life is given by the

arithmetic series

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 and

not the arithmetic series

0 + 1 + 2 + 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 7+ 9 as given
