O RANDOM VARIABLES AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Rules for expectation and variance of random variables
Suppose that X, Y, and Z are jointly distributed random variables, that is, they are defined on the same sample space.
Suppose that we also have the following.
E(X)= 5
Var(X) = 44 Var(Y)= 23 Var(Z)= 32
E(Y)=-2
Compute the values of the expressions below.
E(-5+5Y)= I
3Y+5X
