4. Recall that the covariance of random variables X, and Y is defined by Cov(X,Y) = E(X - Ex)(Y - EY) (a) (2pt) TRUE or FALSE (circle one). E(XY) 0 implies Cov(X, Y) = 0. (b) (4 pt) a, b, c, d are constants. Mark each correct statement ( ) Cov(aX, cY) = ac Cov(X, Y) ( ) Cor(aX + b, cY + d) = ac Cov(X, Y) + bc Cov(X, Y) + da Cov(X, Y) + bd ( )...
A step by step solution 2. Suppose X and Y are random variables with joint probability density function of the form f(x, y) +y, for 0 S r S 1; and 0 SyS 1 and zero elsewhere. (a) Find the marginal distribution of X and Y. (b) Compute E(X), E(Y); Var(X) and Var(Y). (c) Compute Cov(X, Y). (d) Compute El(2X - Y)
X and Y are random variables (a) Show that E(X)=E(B(X|Y)). (b) If P((X x, Y ) P((X x})P({Y y)) then show that E(XY) = E(X)E(Y), i.e. if two random variables are independent, then show that they are uncorrelated. Is the reverse true? Prove or disprove (c) The moment generating function of a random variable Z is defined as ΨΖφ : Eez) Now if X and Y are independent random variables then show that Also, if ΨΧ(t)-(λ- (d) Show the conditional...

For the random variables X and Y having E(X) = 1, E(Y) = 2, Var (X) = 6, Var (Y) = 9, and Pxy = -2/3. Find a) The covariance of X and Y. b) The correlation of X and Y. c) E(X2) and E(Y2).
. Let X and Y be random variables. The conditional variance of Y given X, denoted Var(Y | X), is defined as Var(Y | X) = E[Y 2 | X] − E[Y | X] 2 . Show that Var(Y ) = E[Var(Y | X)] + Var(E[Y | X]). (This equality you are showing is known as the Law of Total Variance). Hint: From the Law of Total Expectation, you get Var(Y ) = E[Y 2 ] − E[Y ] 2...
