- Suppose X and Y are independent. X has a mean of 1 and variance of 1, Y has a mean of 0, and variance of 2. Let S=X+Y, calculate E(S) and Var(S). Let Z=2Y^2+1/2 X+1 calculate E(Z). Hint: for any random variable X, we have Var(X)=E(X-E(X))^2=E(X^2 )-(E(X))^2, you may want to find EY^2 with this. Calculate cov(S,X). Hint: similarly, we have cov(Z,X)=E(ZX)-E(Z)E(X), Calculate cov(Z,X). Are Z and X independent? Are Z and Y independent? Why? What about mean independence?arrow_forwardSuppose that f (x) = 0.125x for 0 < x < 4 Determine the mean and the variance of X.arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable with mean E[X] = 20 and variance Var(X) = 3. Define Y = 3 – 6X. Calculate the mean and variance of Y.arrow_forward
- Let X and Y have the joint pdf f(x,y)= x+y , 0<=x<=1, 0<=y<=1. Calculate the mean(x) mean (y) variance (x) variance(y)arrow_forwardProve that the variance of b, V(b) = o²(X'X)−¹arrow_forwardShow that the mean of a random sample of size n from an exponential population is a minimum variance unbi-ased estimator of the parameter θ.arrow_forward
- An investor has found that company1 have an expected return on E(X) = 4% and variance for the return equal V(X) = 0.49. Company 2 has E(Y) = 6% and variance V(Y) = 0.64. The correlation between the companies return is ρ(X,Y) = 0.3. The investor wants to invest p (0<p<1) in company1 and (1-p) in company2. The combined investment have a return: R = pX + (1-p)Y. Let p=0.4 such that R= 0.4X +0.6Y. Find the Expectation and variance of R. how are these results in comparison with X and Y separatley?arrow_forwardYou are given a sample of two values, 5 and 9. You estimate Var(X) using the estimator g(X1, X2) = (X,- X)². Determine the bootstrap approximation to the mean square error of g. (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) (D) 8 (E) 16 4.arrow_forward
