1. Assume that X and Y are two independent discrete random
variables and that X~N(0,1) and Y~N(µ,σ2).
a. Derive E(X3) and deduce that E[((Y-µ)/σ)3]
= 0
b. Derive P(X > 1.65). With µ = 0.5 and σ2 = 4.0,
find z such that P(((Y-µ)/σ) ≤ z) = 0.95. Does z depend on µ and/or
σ? Why
Let X and Y be two independent random variables. Assume that X
is Negative-
Binomial(2, θ) and Y is Negative-Binomial(3, θ) distributed. Let Z
be another random
variable, Z = X + Y .
(a) Find the following probabilities: P(Z = 0), P(Z = 1) and P(Z =
2);
(b) Can you guess what is the distribution of Z?

Provide an example that if the
cov(X,Y)
= 0, the two random variables, X and Y, are not necessarily
independent.
Would you please give the example specifically and
why?
