Chapter 7, Problem 78E
Least squares Consider the four points (200,1950), (400,1650), (600,1800), and (800,1600). The least squares line is ŷ = 1975 – 0.45x. Explain what “least squares” means, using these data as a specific example.

28. (a) Under what conditions do we say that two random variables X and Y are
independent?
(b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) =
E(X)E(Y);
(e) Show by a counter example that the converse of (ii) is not necessarily true.
1. Let X and Y be random variables and suppose that A = F. Prove that
Z XI(A)+YI(A) is a random variable.
