If c is any constant and Y is a random variable such that E(Y) exists, show that Cov(c, Y) = 0. (Let E(Y) = μ.)

Show that the following property holds for any random variable X: Var(X) = E(X^2) - E(X)^2. Show that the following property holds for any random variables X, Y, and V, and any constants a, b, and c: Cov(a + bX + cV, Y) = b * Cov(X, Y) + c * Cov(V, Y).

Show that for a discrete uniform random variable $X$, if each of the values in the range of $X$ is multiplied by the constant $c,$ the effect is to multiply the mean of $X$ by $c$ and the variance of $X$ by $c^{2}$ That is, show that $E(c X)=c E(X)$ and $V(c X)=c^{2} V(X)$.
