X and Y are two random variables with variances of and of, respectively and r is the coefficient of correlation between them. If U = X + kY and V = X + (ox/o)Y, find the value of k so that U and V are uncorrelated.
If X, Y and Z are uncorrelated and independent variables with the same variance o? and zero mean. find the correlation coefficient between (X +Y) and (Y +Z).
