Numerical proof of Var(X + Y ) = σ 2 X + σ 2 Y + 2Cov(X, Y):

***Please use R commands, that is where my confusion lies***

2.1 State how you create a dependent pair of variables (X, Y),give Var(X), Var(Y ), Cov(X, Y ), and Var(X + Y ).

2.2 Choose a sample size n and generate (xi , yi), i = 1, . . ., n according to the (X,Y) distribution. Give the sample variancesof the x-sample and y-sample, the sample covariance of the(x,y)-sample, and the sample variance of the x+y sample.

2.3 Turn in all R commands and the output showing theresults.
