(a) Suppose X and Y are independent random variables with standard deviations 3 and 2 respectively. Define Z = X − 2Y + 3. What is the standard deviation of Z? (b) Suppose X and Y are Poisson random variables. X has a mean of 1 and Y has a mean of 2. X and Y are correlated with CORR (X,Y) = 0.5. What is the variance of X + Y ? (c) refer to the table. What is the variance of the number of cards held by a person from this group?
