The following table provides values of the function f(x,y). However, because of potential; errors in measurement, the functional values may be slightly inaccurately. Using the statistical package included with a graphical calculator or spreadsheet and critical thinking skills, find the function f(x,y)=a+bx+cy that best estimate the table where a, b and c are integers. Hint: Do a linear regression on each column with the value of y fixed and then use these four regression equations to determine the coefficient c. x y 0 1 2 3 0 4.02 7.04 9.98 13.00 1 6.01 9.06 11.98 14.96 2 7.99 10.95 14.02 17.09 3 9.99 13.01 16.01 19.02

Suppose that the random change in value of a financial asset is X over the first day and Y over the second. Suppose also that Var(X) =18 and Var(Y) = 26 In this case, the total change in the value over these two days is given by X +Y. Do you have enough information to compute Var(X +Y)? If so, compute this value. If not, explain what additional information you need to do so.
