| abhinavkapoor | can somebody please explain it? |

| dmfz | This makes no sense |
| idzani | More like an IQ test than comprehension test lol |
| ashish100 | I'll give one example then move on. Cov (Y,Z) = Cov (Z,Y) Cov (Z,Y) = 7. This is given. Therefore Cov (Y,Z) = 7 as well. Do the same for the rest. |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
