Problem 2.

(a) Prove that, if two continuous random variable X and Y are independent

P(X > x, Y > y) = P(X > x)P(Y > y)

(b) Now prove that, under the same conditions, X,Y, independent continuous random variables, E(XY) = E(X)E(Y).

In this problem there are two random variables X and Y. The random variable Y counts how many times we roll the die in the following experiment: First, we flip a fair coin. If it comes Heads we set X= 1 and roll a fair die until we get a six. If it comes Tails, we set X= 0 and roll the die until we get an even number (2, 4 or 6). a). What are the possible values taken...
