Each of the X, X,..., X, are random variables with normal distribution N(m,o) and the
correlation coefficient between the two pairs is equal to p. The random variable Y is also a
binomial random variable B (n, p) independent of Xi. The sum of the random number of rand
variables Xi is called S
X, +X, +...+ Xy,Y = 1,2,.,n
P; (k) =

p*(1– p)*-k
and
a) Find the mean and the variance of S.
b) Assuming that the X1 , X2, ... are joint normal, if p=0 find the characteristic function of
random variable S.
