The random variable X takes value O with probability, and value 1 with the remaining probability. The random variable Y takes value 100 with probability, and value 101 with the remaining probability. What is the relation between the variance of X and the variance of Y? Var[X] < Var[Y] Var[X] = Var[Y] Var[X] > Var[Y]
