Let x and y have a bivariate normal distribution and suppose that x and y both have mean 0 and variance 1, so that their marginal distributions arc standard normal and their joint density isĀ 

-1 p(x, y) = {2 (1- p)] ' exp{-  (x  2pxy + y)/(1  p)}. .

Show that if the correlation coefficient between x and y is p, then that between x2 and y2 is p2.

p(x, y) = {2 (1-p)}" exp{-1 (x 2pxy + y)/(1 p)}. .
