MML-08-07: Covariance, Correlation Matrices & Linear Independence of RVs – Practice Quiz

Compute covariance and Pearson correlation from moments, expand variances of linear combinations, and interpret covariance and correlation matrices. Distinguish linear redundancy, uncorrelatedness, and statistical independence through counterexamples and feature diagnostics.

35 questions combining single-select and multiselect formats, with worked explanations and feedback for every choice. Prerequisites: QS 8.6. Cognitive range: Tier 2–3. The local authored sequence progresses from accessible checks to computations, modeling diagnostics, and derivation recognition within that range.
