a) Suppose that X is a random variable with E[X] = 2 and Var(X) = 4. Compute E[(2X - 3)^2]. b) Suppose that Y is a random variable with finite variance. Show that for any a, b ∈ R, Var(aY + b) = a^2Var(Y).

Let X be a randon variable following normal distribution with mean +1 and variance 4. Let Y be another normal variable with mean –1 and variance unknown. If P(X ? –1) = P(Y ? 2) the standard deviation of Y is (a) 3 (b) 2 (c) 2 (d) 1
