Let X and Y be two independent and identically distributed random variables with expected value 1 and variance 2.56. First, find a non-trivial upper bound for P(|X + Y − 2| ≥ 1). Now suppose that X and Y are independent and identically distributed N(1,2.56) random variables. What is P(|X + Y − 2| ≥ 1) exactly? Why is the upper bound first obtained so different from the exact probability obtained?
