Question:
59. An urn contains 30 balls, of which 10 are red and 8 are blue. From this urn, 12 balls are randomly withdrawn. Let *X* denote the number of red, and *Y* the number of blue, balls that are withdrawn. Find Cov(*X*, *Y*)
(a) by defining appropriate indicator (that is, Bernoulli) random variables
*Xi*, *Yi* such that $X = \sum_{i=1}^{10}X_{i}$, $Y = \sum_{i=1}^{8}Y_{i}$
(b) by conditioning (on either *X* or *Y*) to determine *E[XY]*.
