Answer to Question 1

E(XY) = 2.55

Answer to Question 2

H = Internet at home
W = Internet at work
P(H) = 0.34, P(W) = 0.40, P(H/W) = 0.55.
Hence, P(H  W)=P(H/W)  P(W) = (0.55 )(0.40 ) = 0.22 and P(W/H) = P(W  H)/P(H) = 0.22/0.34 = 0.647.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
