Exercise 4. Let = {a, b, c, d} and define a probability measure on 22 by P(a)=P(c) = 1/6
and P(b) = P(d) = 1/3. Define random variables X and Y by
X(a)= X(b) = 2, X(c)= X(d) = -2
Y(a) = Y(d) = -1, Y(b) = Y(c) = 1.
(c) Verify that E(XY) is a function of Y.
(d) Let h(x, y) be a real-valued function defined for all (x, y) = R² and define g(y) = E[h(x,y)].
Let U = E(h(X,Y)|Y) and compute U(a) and g(Y(a)).
