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?
(a) Suppose that Xi, X2,... are independent and identically distributed random variables each taking the value 1 with probability p and the value-1 with probability 1-p For n 1,2,..., define Yn -X1 + X2+ ...+Xn.

3. Suppose that X and Y are independent exponentially distributed random variables with parameter λ, and further suppose that U is a uniformly distributed random variable between 0 and 1 that is independent from X and Y. Calculate Pr(X<U< Y) and estimate numerically (based on a visual plot, for example) the value of λ that maximizes this probability.
