Let X, Y, and Z be random variables. Suppose that the variance of X is 0.7, Cov(X,Y) = 0.4, Cov(X,Z) = 1.2, and Cov(Y,Z) = 0.8. Find each of the following to two decimal places (if applicable).

(a)

\(Cov(2 Y, 3 X +1)\)

[____]{14.4}

     # 4*9*0.4

 (b)

Cov(2 X + Y, 3 X + 2 Z) 

[____]{51.2}

        # 4*9*0.7 + 4*4*1.2+ 9*0.4+ 4*0.8
