QUESTION:

How big or small can \({Cov}\left(Y_{1}, Y_{2}\right)\) be? Use the fact that \(\rho^{2} \leq 1\) to show that

\(-\sqrt{V\left(Y_{1}\right) \times V\left(Y_{2}\right)} \leq \operatorname{Cov}\left(Y_{1}, Y_{2}\right) \leq \sqrt{V\left(Y_{1}\right) \times V\left(Y_{2}\right)}\)

Cov(Y_1,Y_2)

rho^2 leq 1

-sqrt V(Y_1)xV(Y_2)Cov(Y_1,Y_2)Vx(Y_1)V(Y_2)
