Let g(x) be a function so that the following covariance and expectations are finite numbers. Show that

cov [g(U), g(1 − U)] = (1/2) E {[g(U1) − g(U2)][g(1 − U1) − g(1 − U2)]} ,

where U ∼ U(0, 1), U1 and U2 are iid U(0, 1). Note you need the fact about the independences of U1 & 1 − U2 as well as 1 − U1 & U2 to show the above identity.

Let X be an uncountable set, let τf be the finite complement topology on X, and let τc be the countable complement topology; namely, we have τf ={U⊂X : X\U is finite}∪{∅}, τc={U⊂X : X\U is countable}∪{∅}, where “countable” means that the set is either finite or countably infinite (in bijection with the natural numbers).

Let (G,·) be a finite group, and let S be a set with the same cardinality as G. Then there is a bijection μ:S→G . We can give a group structure to S by defining a binary operation *on S, as follows. For x,y∈ S, define x*y=z where z∈S such that μ(z) = g_{1}·g_{2}, where μ(x)=g_{1} and μ(y)=g_{2}. First prove that (S,*) is a group. Then, what can you say about the bijection μ?
