a) You throw two fair dice labeled 1, . . . , 6 independently of each other and let X be the minimum of the two results.
Calculate E[X2].
(b) Suppose that X has pdf given by f(x) = 3x^(−4) if x > 1 and by f(x) = 0 if x <= 1. Calculate the median of X.
Suppose that Y₁ and Y₂ are uniformly distributed over the triangle shaded in the accompanying figure.
3₂
(0, 1)
(-1,0)
(a) Find Cov(Y₁ Y₂).
Cov(Y₁, Y₂)
=
(b) Are Y₁ and Y₂ independent?
Yes
O No
(1, 0)
(c) Find the coefficient of correlation for Y₁ and Y₂.
P=
y/₁
(d) Does your answer to part (b) lead you to doubt your answer to part (a)? Why or why not?
O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) # 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily dependent.
Since Cov(Y₁ Y₂) # 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be dependent.
O Since Cov(Y₁, Y₂) = 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be independent.
O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) = 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily independent.
Suppose X, Y joint Gaussian with s.d.'s 2 and 3 respectively and
covariance 4. Find the joint pdf and the two marginal pdf's. What if
the covariance were 8?
