IndependenceIndependence
Two random variables, Y and Z are Two random variables, Y and Z are independent ifindependent if
P(Y=y|Z=z)=P(Y=y)P(Y=y|Z=z)=P(Y=y)
P(Y=y|Z=z) means the probability that Y P(Y=y|Z=z) means the probability that Y has a value of y, given Z has a value of has a value of y, given Z has a value of zz

Relationship between Relationship between Independence and CovarianceIndependence and Covariance
If two random variables are If two random variables are independent, then their covariance is independent, then their covariance is 0.0.
If the covariance of two random If the covariance of two random variables is zero, the two may (or variables is zero, the two may (or may not) be independentmay not) be independent

Example 2: Suppose two independent SRS w/o replacement are selected from populations of boy and girl babies, and the weight recorded. Let us represent the boy weight by Y and the girl weight by X. Suppose sample results are given as follows:

An estimate is wanted of the average birth weight in Europe, where for every 1000 births, 485 are girls, while 515 are boys.
