Question

If the random variable X and Y are independent of each other. X~N(0,1) and the probability
mass function of Y is P(Y=0)P(Y=1)=1/2. If Fz(z) denotes the cumulative distribution function
of random variable Z=XY, then the number of discontinuites of function Fz(z) is

Expert Solution
Step 1: Provided given information

If there is no relationship between the random variables X and Y. X~N(0,1), and P(Y=0)P(Y=1)=1/2 is the probability mass function of Y.

Then we need to find that the number of discontinuities in the function Fz(z), given that Fz(z) represents the cumulative distribution function of the random variable Z=XY
