Question
For mated pairs of gallinules (type of water bird), let X equal the weight in grams of the male
and Y the weight in grams of the female. Assume that X and Y have a bivariate normal
distribution with μx = 415, o = 611, uy = 347 and o=689. The correlation coefficient
between X and Y is p = -0.25.
