5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
9. The concentration function of a random variable X is defined as
Qx(h) = sup P(x ≤ X ≤x+h), h>0.
Show that, if X and Y are independent random variables, then
Qx+y (h) min{Qx(h). Qr (h)).
