Covariance - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CovarianceIn probability theory and statistics, covariance is a measure of the joint variability of two random variables. If the greater values of one variable mainly correspond with the greater values of the other variable, and the same holds for the lesser values (that is, the variables tend to show similar behavior), the covariance is positive. In the opposite case, when the greater values of one variable mainly c…

Instead of measuring the fluctuation of a single random variable, the covariance measures the fluctuation of two variables with each other.

https://www.probabilitycourse.com/chapter5/5_3_1_covariance_correlation.phpOne of the applications of covariance is finding the variance of a sum of several random variables. In particular, if Z = X + Y, then Var(Z) = Cov(Z, Z) = Cov(X + Y, X + Y) = Cov(X, X) + Cov(X, Y) + Cov(Y, X) + Cov(Y, Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y) + 2Cov(X, Y). More generally, for a, b ∈ R, we conclude:
