3. \( x \) and \( y \) are independent zero mean Gaussian random variables with variance \( \sigma_x^2 \) and \( \sigma_y^2 \). Let \( z = (x + y) / 2 \), \( w = (x - y) / 2 \).

(a) Find the joint pdf \( f(z, w) \),

(b) Find the marginal pdf \( f_z(z) \),

(c) Are \( z \) and \( w \) independent?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here we have x and y, two independent zero mean Gaussian random variables with σ2x and σ2y

So the pdf of x and y are given by, 

fx(x) = 1σx2πe-x22σ2x . 

fy(y) = 1σy2πe-y22σ2y .

Let,  z = x+y2 and w = x-y2.
