Let X and Y be two independent samples of a standard uniform distri- bution. Let Z be the closest integer to X/Y (i.e. the value that we get by rounding X/Y ). Is Z more likely to be even or odd? (hint: draw the sample space over X and Y and identify the regions where Z is even or odd. Work out when Z = 0, when Z = 1, and so forth)
