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 +...

Let X be a random variable following a continuous uniform distribution from 0 to 10. Find the conditional probability P(X >3 X < 5.5). Chebyshev's theorem states that the probability that a random variable X has a value at most 3 standard deviations away from the mean is at least 8/9. Given that the probability distribution of X is normally distributed with mean ji and variance o”, find the exact value of P(u – 30 < X < u +30).
