1. Let Z = (Z1, Z2, Z3) be a vector with i.i.d. N(0, 1) components.

Let r be a constant with 0 < r < 1. Define X1 = √ rZ1 + √ 1 − rZ2 and X2 = √ rZ1 + √ 1 − rZ3.

(a) Give the distribution of X1 and the distribution of X2. Find Cov(X1, X2).

(b) Give the matrix A so that the vector X = (X1, X2) is a transform X = AZ. Give the distribution of X and its covariance matrix.
