1) Let X and Y be random variables. Show that Cov( X + Y, X-Y) Var(X)--Var(Y) without appealing to the general formulas for the covariance of the linear combinations of sets of random variables; use the basic identity Cov(Z1,22)-E[Z1Z2]- E[Z1 E[Z2, valid for any two random variables, and the properties of the expected value 2) Let X be the normal random variable with zero mean and standard deviation Let ?(t) be the distribution function of the standard normal random variable....

Consider two random variables, X and Y. Let E(X) and E(Y) denote the population means of X and Y respectively. Further, let Var(X) and Var(Y) denote the population variances of X and Y. Consider another random variable that is a linear combination of X and Y Z- 3X- Y What is the population variance of Z? Assume that X and Y are independent, which is to say that their covariance is zero.
Let X and Y be two independent random variables. Show that Cov (X, XY) = E(Y) Var(X).
2. Properties of Correlation and Covariance: Two random variables Y and Z are represented by the following relationships Y = 0.5+0.6X Z = 0.2+0.3x where X is another random variable. You can treat the variance, Var(X), as a given constant. It may help to give Var(X) a name, ie. Var(x)ox2 a. Calcuate var(Y) and Var(Z) as a function of Var(X). Which is hrger? b. Calcuate Cov(Y,Z), Cov(X,Z) and Cov(X,Y) as a function of var(X). c. Calcuate Corr(Y,Z), Corr(X,Z) and Corn(X,Y)...
Let X and Y be independent exponential random variables with pdfs f(x) = λe-λx (x > 0) and f(y) = µe-µy (y > 0) respectively. (i) Let Z = min(X, Y ). Find f(z), E(Z), and Var(Z). (ii) Let W = max(X, Y ). Find f(w) (it is not an exponential pdf). (iii) Find E(W) (there are two methods - one does not require further integration). (iv) Find Cov(Z,W). (v) Find Var(W).
Let X and Y be two independent random variables such that E(X) = E(Y) = u but og and Oy are unequal. We define another random variable Z as the weighted average of the random variables X and Y, as Z = 0X + (1 - 0)Y where 0 is a scalar and 0 = 0 < 1. 1.
