Let X, Y, and Z be independent identically distributed random variables with a mean of 3 and variance of 1. Calculate: (a) E(2X + 3Y) (b) Var(2X + 3Y) (c) E(XYZ) (d) Var(XYZ) (e) Var(X - Y)

Step 1
(a) E(2X + 3Y) = 2E(X) + 3E(Y) = 2(3) + 3(3) = 6 + 9 = 15 Show more…

Let X and Y be independent random variables with EX = 1, EY = 2, Var(X) = 3 and Var(Y) = 4. (a) Find E(8X^2 + 6Y^2 - XY + 8X + 5Y - 1). (b) Assume they are normally distributed, find P(2X > 3Y - 5).
Adi S.
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).
