(13) Let X be a random variable that takes only positive values. If E|X| < ∞, prove that E(X) · E(1/X) > 1. (a) Since f (t) = 1/t is a convex function for t > 0, Jensen's inequality gives that E(1/X) > 1/E(X). (b) Since f(t) = 1 = tlt is a convex function for t > 0, Jensen's inequality gives that E(1/X) > 1/E(X). (c) The statement of the problem is, in fact, false. (d) Follows by Markov's inequality (e) Follows by Chebyshev's inequality. The correct answer is (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) N/A (Select One)

8 The failure of a circuit board interrupts work that utilizes a computing system, until a new board is delivered. The delivery time, Y, is uniformly distributed on the interval one to six days. The cost of a board failure and interruption includes the fixed cost co of a new board and a cost that increases proportionally to y². If C is the cost incurred, C = Co + c₂y².
