Let X be a continuous random variable with density, and let X1, X2 be two independent draws from X. Then, not usually is it the case that the random variable 2X is distributed as X1 + X2. However, the Cauchy density, which is given by the form , possesses the following property; X1+X2 has the same distribution as the random variable 2X. a. Let X be a binomial. Argue, based on the properties of the binomial distribution, that X1 +...
