Question
![Cov(X,Y)
1) The correlation of two random variables X and Y, usually written as p(X,Y)= Var (X)Var (Y)
where Cov(...) is the covariance and Var(.) is the variance of random variables. Let X be a uniform random
variable on the interval [0; 1], and let Y = X2. Find the correlation between X and Y.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/09df43bb-33a9-4e59-8756-fb52694adcfd/b60d5bbb-1b4e-486e-b709-8b222200818c/w0f7elt_thumbnail.jpeg)
