Return to the information for tile width and tile length given in Example 11.4.
(a) Give the expected difference in tile widths and length, D = width - length.
(b) Give the variance for D and the standard deviation.
Example 11.4
The width of a tile has a mean of 12 inches and a variance of 0.0025 inches2. The length has a mean of 12 inches and a variance of .0064 inches2. Tiles that are wider than usual tend to be longer than usual, as reflected in a covariance of 0.0026. What is the variance of T = width + length?
