Consider three random variables X1, X2 and X3. For all three variables the expectations are equal to µ and the variances are equal to ν, also, the correlation between any two of them is equal to r.
(a) Find the correlation between U = X1 − X2 and V = X2 − X3.
(b) Find E[U(U − 2V )] (hint: use alternative definition of covariance).
(c) Use Jensen’s inequality with the transformation g(t) = (e^t)^2 to find a lower bound for E[(e^U)^2].
(d) Use Jensen’s inequality with the transformation h(t) = e^t to find a lower bound for E[(e^U)^2].
(e) Comment on the efficacy of the two bounds.
