1. Consider a random experiment that has as an outcome the number x. Let the associated random variable be X, with true (population) and unknown probability density function fx(x), mean ux, and variance σχ2. Assume that n 2 independent, repeated trials of the random experiment are performed, resulting in the 2-sample of numerical outcomes x] and x2. Let estimate f x of true mean ux be μΧ-(X1 + x2)/2. Then the random variable associated with estimate Axis estimator Ax- (XI...
Suppose X, Y and Z are independent standard normal random variables. Then W = 2X + Y - Z is a random variable with mean 0 and variance 2, but not necessarily normal distributed. a normal random variable with mean 0 and variance 4. O a random variable with mean 0 and variance 4, but not necessarily normal distributed. a random variable with mean 0 and variance 6, but not necessarily normal distributed. a normal random variable with mean 0...

8. A Gaussian random variable x with a mean and variance of ax and Ox? respectively goes through a linear transformation of y=ax +b, where a and b are any real constants. Determine the probability density function of y, also give its mean and variance. (5 points).
Use this result without proof: if X and Y are two normal random variables with means ux and My respectively, and variances oź and oſ respectively, and Z = X+Y, Z is also a normal random variable with mean (ux + Hy) and variance (ox +og). a) Suppose Yı, Y2, Yz, Y4 and Y5 are all independent normal random variables, each with a mean of 1 and a variance of 5. What is the probability that (Y1 + 2Y2 +...
3. Suppose we have a random variable X with mean a new random variable Y as = 7 and variance a4. We define Y 3 5X Find the standard deviation of Y
3. Let X be the height of Zebras, assume the X is a random variable with mean 10 and variance 20. Suppose Y is be the weight of Zebras, assume the Y is a random variable with mean 10 and variance 40. Let E(XY)-80 (a) Find the covariance and correlation between X and Y. Find the covariance and correlation between aX + b and cY + d. a,b,c, and d are unknown constants. Your answer can depend on them. (b)...

A random variable X is known to always be positive and have a standard deviation of 5 and E[x^2] = 125. Another random variable (Y) is known to have a mean twice as large as (X) and E[Y^2] = 500. Find the following: a.) E[X] b.) E[2X + 5] c.) Var(Y) d.) E[(Y-5)^2] e.) Assuming X and Y are independent find Var(2X - Y +5)
4. Standard deviation and risk. The standard deviation o(X) of a random variable is the square root of the variance that is o(X) = Var(X). It characterizes the "spread" of the random variable X. If a random variable X has expected value p and standard deviation o, then X takes values which are on average at distance o from u. Imagine you have the choice to invest in two stock funds: an American fund with a rate return X and...
