You're making a transformation on $A$ and get another RV $X=f(A)$. This can be simple scaling or any other operation. The covariance between the newly transformed variable $X$ and $B$ will in general change, i.e. in general, we have$$\operatorname{cov}(A,B)\neq \operatorname{cov}(X,B)$$
A simple example would be scaling, $X=2A$:$$\operatorname{cov}(X,B)=\...

Here simple examples, in which I focus on the
terminology that seems to be confusing you.
Suppose you have a sample of size 100 from the
distribution $\mathsf{Norm}(\mu=200, \sigma=25).$
Then the standard deviation of a single observation
is $SD(X_i) = \sigma = 25.$ The standard deviation of $\bar X,$
also called the 'standard error of the (sample) mean', ...

As Glen mentioned, additivity of variances when samples are independent:
VAR(ND) = NVAR(D),
with VAR = S^2
then S(N*D) = SQRT(N)*S(D)
In statistics, the standard error SE or standard deviation for a sample mean is given by the formula SE = S/SQRT(N) for the same reason as above, where N is the sample size and S is the standard deviation of the sample.

You have various different standard deviations and standard errors there. Trying to unpick them, for given $p$:
An individual trial has variance $p(1-p)$ and standard deviation $\sqrt{p(1-p)}$
The sum of $n$ independent trials has variance $np(1-p)$ and standard deviation $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$
The mean of $n$ independent trials has variance $\frac1n p(1-p)$ and ...

This is a standard technique for normalizing distributions of data. It seems like this implies your data comes from the same family of distributions defined by the mean and std. dev. parameters.

Once we have @ThorGirl's derivation for $ SE(\hat{\beta_1})^2 $ we can use that to derive the Standard Error for $ \hat{\beta_0} $ i.e, $ SE(\hat{\beta_0})^2 $
Note: If you are looking for a step-by-step explanation of @ThorGirl's
answer take a look at this video.
We are going to use the following assumptions / observations:
1) Each output $y_i$ is ...

This really comes down to an issue of "dimensionality". Imagine that each of the five "difference" values is a vector (i.e., a line pointing positively or negatively with length equal to the difference value). Geometrically, the mean (of) difference value is obtained by putting these vectors end-to-end in a single dimension, to get the aggregate difference,...

Gelman added a bit more detail to the explanation of the rescaling here. The -1/+1 recoding accommodates an interpretation of a 1 SD change to a change from 0 to 1 in the binary variable. If coded as 0/1, a change from 0 to 1 would correspond to a change of appx. 2 SD. With the recoding you can then rescale all inputs, whether binary og continuous, by ...

Since your data are strictly positive (corresponding to times), and you are trying to estimate a ratio, then it is likely that a log-transformation will help you.
Estimating the log-ratio is easier than estimating the ratio, because it is estimated by the difference of the logs of the two groups. So you could use for example a standard t-test to get the ...
