Question

Let X1 ∼ N(μ = 2, σ^2 = 4), X2 ∼ N(μ = 1, σ^2 = 16), and X3 ∼N(μ = −4, σ^2 = 9). Let X1, X2, and X3 be independent and Y = (X1 + 2X2 + X3)^2. What is the mean and variance of Y?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A random variable follows a Normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ2

Random Variable Mean μ Variance σ2
X1 2 4
X2 1 16
X3 -4 9

The random variables X1, X2 and X3 are independent

Given Y is another random variable

Y = (X1+2X2+X3)2
