Solving (a): Marginal pmf of x
This is calculated as:

So:






Solving (b): Marginal pmf of y
This is calculated as:

So:






Solving (c): Mean and Variance of x
Mean is calculated as:

So, we have:




Variance is calculated as:

Calculate 




So:




Solving (d): Mean and Variance of y
Mean is calculated as:

So, we have:




Variance is calculated as:

Calculate 




So:




Solving (e): The covariance and the coefficient of correlation
Covariance is calculated as:

Calculate E(xy)

This gives:




So:




The coefficient of correlation is then calculated as:





--- approximated
An infinite number of solutions since the right side is equal the left side for every value of x.
Answer:
The distance to the top of the balloon is approximately 33.977 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The (horizontal) distance from the hot air balloon from the observer, <em>l</em> = 30 m
The angle of elevation to the top of the balloon, θ = 28°
With the balloon standing upright, the distance to the top of the balloon, <em>d</em>, the height of the balloon, <em>h</em> and the horizontal distance to the balloon, <em>l</em>, form a right triangle, where;
d = The hypotenuse side
l = The leg adjacent to the reference (given) angle,
h = The leg opposite to the given angle, θ
By trigonometric ratios, we have;

From which we get;



The distance to the top of the balloon, <em>d </em>≈ 33.977 m
I don't know if you have to do this on a graph, or just on a blank space. But, noncollinear means, "not on the same line". So, if you were to draw four points in a blank spot on a piece of paper, just draw four points in random places, making sure they aren't all directly in line with eachother. For a graph, use points like: (-6,2), (5,7), (8,3), and (1,-3). Notice that none of them have the same x or y coordinates, so they can't possibly be collinear.
