(9) When X, Y have a bivariate normal density with respective means ux, µy, respective variables o, oy and
correlation p, we have
ρσχ
E(X|Y = y) = µx+
(y – uy),
Oy
Var(X|Y = y) = o(1 – p²).
Verify the theorem of total expectation (TTE).
The following verifications are proposed.
(a) Since Var(X|Y = y) = oz(1 – p²) does not depend on y, therefore, the TTE holds.
(b) Since E(X|Y = y) depends only on y, the TTE holds.
(c) Since E(X|Y) = µx+
Pox
* (Y – µy), we see that E(E(X|Y)) = µx =
E(X). Therefore, the TTE holds.

(d) TTE does not hold.
(e) None of the above
The correct verification is
