Results for Different Correlation Coefficients
| Correlation (ρ) | Mean of X/Y | SD of X/Y |

Methodology Note
This application uses the delta method to approximate the standard deviation of the ratio X/Y. The delta method is a technique for estimating the variance of a function of random variables using Taylor series expansion.
SD(X/Y) ≈ √[(SD_X²/Y²) + (X²·SD_Y²/Y⁴) - (2·X·ρ·SD_X·SD_Y/Y³)]
Where ρ is the correlation coefficient between X and Y. This formula allows us to estimate the standard deviation by considering the means, standard deviations, and correlation between the variables.
