is this a trick question?
1. Introduction. This paper discusses a special form of positive dependence.
Positive dependence may refer to two random variables that have
a positive covariance, but other definitions of positive dependence have
been proposed as well; see [24] for an overview. Random variables X =
(X1, . . . , Xd) are said to be associated if cov{f(X), g(X)} ≥ 0 for any
two non-decreasing functions f and g for which E|f(X)|, E|g(X)|, and
E|f(X)g(X)| all exist [13]. This notion has important applications in probability
theory and statistical physics; see, for example, [28, 29].
However, association may be difficult to verify in a specific context. The
celebrated FKG theorem, formulated by Fortuin, Kasteleyn, and Ginibre in
[14], introduces an alternative notion and establishes that X are associated if

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 semester = 4474
8 semester = 8* 4474 35792
1 semester books = 389
8 semester books = 8* 389 <u> 3112 </u>
Total 38904
If he is going to pay this off in 10 years, he would have to have an increase of 3890.40 (after all income taxes) to pay it off. Fewer years would mean dividing by the number of years.
So for 8 years for example, he would need 4863 every year.
That number is obtained by dividing 38904 / 8
In 6 years he would need
38904/6 = 6484 extra dollars.
