Question 24. of the product, E(XY) is the product of the marginal expectations. Start the proof with the definition of E(XY). (a) Prove that if two continuous random variables X and Y are independent, then the expected value (b) Prove that if two random variables X and Y are independent, so are the following functions of the two random variables W = a + bX and T = c + dY. You may use just the expectation operator and the result obtained in part (a).
