An office complex leases space to various companies. These leases include energy costs associated with heating during the winter. To anticipate costs in the coming year, the managers developed two random variables X and Y to describe costs for equivalent amounts of heating oil (X) and natural gas (Y) in the coming year. Both X and Y are measured in dollars per BTU of heat produced. The complex uses both fuels for heating, with px = Hy and ox = Oy. Mark the statement below as True or False. If you believe that a statement is false, briefly say why you think it is false. Because the means and SDs of these random variables are the same, the random variables X and Y are identically distributed. .... Choose the correct answer below. O A. True OB. False, the random variables are not dependent. OC. False, equality of mean and variance does not imply that p(x) = ply).
