Question: This table gives the joint probability distribution for two random variables which are the

annual sales growth (%) from two companies, A and B.

Sales growth for Company A (%)
Sales growth for Company B (%)	-4 +4 +8
	-1 +3 +6	0.15 0.05 0.1 0.1 0.25 0.03 0.05 0.07 0.2

Are the 2 variables independent or not? Explain the reason for your answer.

[2 marks] b. Find the expected value and standard deviation of the sales growth of company A and the covariance between the 2 variables. [5 marks]

c. Suppose the level of sales of company A was $200m at the start of the year and for company B, $75m. Define Z as the total sales of the 2 companies combined at the end of the year; then find the mean and variance of Z.

H i n t: To save you some calculation, you are told that the variance of B is 7.6224 %2.
