How can I calculate the Standard deviation of my estimate for the river B, as my estimation is B = C - A, and C and A correlate negatively (-0.5)?

1Convert the correlation to a covariance and apply the formula for a sum of covariances. – whuber Aug 25 '21 at 16:29

1σ^2(x-y) = σ^2(x)+σ^2(y)-2ρσ(x)σ(y). σ^2(x-y) = (25 + 25 - 2 -0.5 * 5 * 5 ) L^2 / s^2 =75 L^2 / s^2, SD = 8.66 L / s (just like in the solution) Thank you!! – Severin Spörri Aug 25 '21 at 17:26
