An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple of “heads” (h) and tails (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below. A) Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px. First, fill in the first row with the values X. Then fill in the appropriate probability in the second row.
Let (Ω, Pr) be a probability space, and let X and Y be two independent random variables that are positive and have non-zero variance. (a) Prove that X^2 and Y are independent.

(b) Use the result from part (a) to show that the random variables W = X + Y and Z = XY are positively correlated (i.e. Cov(W, Z) > 0).
