The random variables $X$ and $Y$ have joint probability distribution specified by the following table:

	$y$ =0	$y$ =1	$y$ =2
$x$ =0	$\frac{1}{4}$	$0$	$\frac{1}{8}$
$x$ =1	$\frac{1}{4}$	$\frac{3}{8}$	$0$

Please provide all answers to the following to three decimal places.

(a) Find the expectation of $XY$ .

(b) Find the covariance Cov( $X,Y$ ) between $X$ and $Y$ .

(c) What is the correlation between $X$ and $Y$ ?

(d) Suppose the random variables $X$ and $Y$ above are connected to random variables $U$ and $V$ by the relations

$X = 3 U + 6$
$Y = 3 V + 8$

What is the covariance Cov( $U,V$ )?

(e) What is the correlation between $U$ and $V$ ?
