Xi is X1 and X2 for i=1,2 respectively. P[Xi=-1] denotes probability at X1=-1 and X2=-1 respectively. similarly,for P[Xi=1] denotes probability at X1=1 and X2=1. and we have to prove that X1 and X2 are independent.

12.. If X1 and X2 are independent random variables with distribution given by P
[X;= -1]=P [X¡ = 1] =1/2 for i=1, 2, then are X, and X1 X2 independent?
