When X and Y are correlated, the following formula should be used: #math.equation(block: true, alt: "σ sub X ± Y squared equals σ sub X squared plus σ sub Y squared ± 2 ρ σ sub X σ sub Y")[$σ_(X ± Y)^(2) = σ_(X)^(2) + σ_(Y)^(2) ± 2 ρ σ_(X) σ_(Y)$] where ρ is the correlation between X and Y in the population. For example, if the variance of verbal SAT were 10,000, the variance of quantitative SAT were 11,000 and the correlation between these two tests were 0.50, then the variance of total SAT (verbal + quantitative) would be: #math.equation(block: true, alt: "σ sub v e r b a l plus q u a n t squared equals 10 , 000 plus 11 , 000 plus open parenthesis 2 close parenthesis open parenthesis 0.5 close parenthesis the square root of 10 , 000 the square root of 11 , 000")[$σ_(v e r b a l + q u a n t)^(2) = 10 , 000 + 11 , 000 + ( 2 ) ( 0.5 ) sqrt(10 "," 000) sqrt(11 "," 000)$] which is equal to 31,488. The variance of the difference is: #math.equation(block: true, alt: "σ sub v e r b a l minus q u a n t squared equals 10 , 000 plus 11 , 000 minus open parenthesis 2 close parenthesis open parenthesis 0.5 close parenthesis the square root of 10 , 000 the square root of 11 , 000")[$σ_(v e r b a l − q u a n t)^(2) = 10 , 000 + 11 , 000 − ( 2 ) ( 0.5 ) sqrt(10 "," 000) sqrt(11 "," 000)$] which is equal to 10,512. If the variances and the correlation are computed in a sample, then the following notation is used to express the variance sum law: #math.equation(block: true, alt: "s sub X ± Y squared equals s sub X squared plus s sub Y squared ± 2 r s sub X s sub Y")[$s_(X ± Y)^(2) = s_(X)^(2) + s_(Y)^(2) ± 2 r s_(X) s_(Y)$].
