Prob. 3 Let X be a random variable with cumulative distribution function (cdf) given by (1-e-x², x ≥ 0 ={1,- x<0 Find the probability that the random variable X falls within one standard deviation of its mean. Fx (x) =
Let X be a random variable and a real number. Show that E(X - a)² = varX + (µ − a)² Hereμ = EX is the expected value of the random variable X and varX = E(X - μ)^2 is the variance of the random variable X. Guidance: start from the representation - (X-a)^2 = (X µ + μ- a)^2 and group the right side of the representation appropriately into the form (Z + b)^2, where Z is some random variable and b is a real number and open the square. The task should be solved with the help of the expected value calculation rules.
Suppose that X and Y are independent random variables with finite variances such that E(X) = E(Y). Show that: E[(X-Y)2] =Var(X) +Var(Y)
Suppose X and Y are independent. X has a mean of 1 and variance of 1, Y has a mean of 0, and variance of 2. Let S=X+Y, calculate E(S) and Var(S). Let Z=2Y^2+1/2 X+1 calculate E(Z). Hint: for any random variable X, we have Var(X)=E(X-E(X))^2=E(X^2 )-(E(X))^2, you may want to find EY^2 with this. Calculate cov(S,X). Hint: similarly, we have cov(Z,X)=E(ZX)-E(Z)E(X), Calculate cov(Z,X). Are Z and X independent? Are Z and Y independent? Why? What about mean independence?
