Let $X_1$ ... $X_n$ all be $p \times 1$ independent vectors. Let $E[X_i] = \mu_i$ and $Var(X_i) = \Sigma$. Let $\bar{X}$ be the elementwise average of the {$X_i$} (i.e. $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$). What is $Var(\bar{X})$ (check all that apply)? $\frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^n Var(X_i)$ $\sum$ $\frac{1}{n^2} \sum$ $\frac{1}{n} \sum$ It can't be determined from the information given.

Consider a 3 x 3 matrix A, and vectors v1 = [1, 1, 0], v2 = [0, 1, 2], v3 = [0, 2, 5], which satisfy Av1 = 2v1, Av2 = -v2, Av3 = v3. Find an invertible matrix P such that A = P [[2, 0, 0], [0, -1, 0], [0, 0, 1]] P^-1.

If w1, w2, w3 are independent vectors, show that the sums v1 = w2 + w3, v2 = w1 + w3, and v3 = w1 + w2 are independent. (Write c1v1 + c2v2 + c3v3 = 0 in terms of the w's. Find and solve equations for the c's.)

Let X and Y be random vectors with known means and covariance matrices. Do not assume zero means. Find the best constant estimate of X; i.e., find the vector b that minimizes E[||X - b||^2]. (5 pts)
