This custom made plot was created to better visualize a bivariate Normal distribution. I used four contour ellipses at values k = (0.1, 0.4, 0.9, 1) and placed them on the bivariate Normal distribution with μ = (7, 10) and covariance matrix Σ=[1, 2, 2, 1]. I also added in horizontal and vertical axis segments to emphasize the covariance matrix.
