2. A fifth grade teacher gives homework every night in both mathematics and language arts. The time to complete the mathematics homework has a mean of 30 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. The time to complete the language arts assignment has a mean of 40 minutes and a standard deviation of 12 minutes. The time to complete the mathematics and the time to complete the language arts homework has a correlation ρ = -0.3. The mean time to complete the entire homework assignment
