Step 1
We have \( Y = Z^2 \) and \( Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \), where \( X \) is a normal random variable with mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^2\). Show more…

For some distribution with E(X) = a and standard deviation = b, the value of E(X^2) / Var(X) = a. b^2+a b. a^2/b^2 c. 1 + a^2/b^2 d. a^2+b

Let $\mu$ and $\sigma^{2}$ denote the mean and variance of the random variable $X$. Let $Y=c+b X$, where $b$ and $c$ are real constants. Show that the mean and variance of $Y$ are, respectively, $c+b \mu$ and $b^{2} \sigma^{2}$.
