Let X1 d= R(0,1) and X2 d= Bernoulli(1/3) be two independent random variables, define Y := X1 + X2 and U := X1X2. (a) Find the state space of Y and derive the cdf FY and pdf fY of Y . (You may wish to use {X2 = i}, i = 0,1, as a partition and apply the total probability formula.) (b) Compute the mean and variance of Y in two different ways, one is through the pdf of Y...
