Question 1: Suppose that X1, X2,... Xn are independent identically distributed continuous outcome random variables which have a probability density function (pdf) f(z) = π1+ア Calculate (with all working) the pdf of the average of the X,i Comment on the significance of this result to sampling from a random vari- able with the pdf f. This pdf is called a Cauchy density.
