Problem 4 Let X be a discrete random variable with probability mass function fx(x), and let t be a function. Define Y = t(X): that is, Y is the randon variable obtained by applying the function t to the value of X Transforming a random variable in this way is frequently done in statistics. In what follows, let R(X) denote the possible values of X and let R(Y) denote the possible values of To compute E[Y], we could irst find...
