Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use 
.
We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.
Say we have the equation 
. Our goal is to find the value of . <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.
We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.
We now know the value of since it’s on one side of the equation.
Hope this helped!
Treat as an equality, except flip the sign direction when yo multiply or divide both sides by a negative number
first distribute
2(4+2x)<u>></u>5x+5
distribute
8+4x<u>></u>5x+5
minus 4x fro both sides
8<u>></u>x+5
minus 5 from both sides
3<u>></u>x
x<u><</u>3
x is less than or equal to 3
Answer:
(a)![E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%2BY%5D%3DE%5BX%5D%2BE%5BY%5D)
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X and Y be discrete random variables and E(X) and Var(X) are the Expected Values and Variance of X respectively.
(a)We want to show that E[X + Y ] = E[X] + E[Y ].
When we have two random variables instead of one, we consider their joint distribution function.
For a function f(X,Y) of discrete variables X and Y, we can define
![E[f(X,Y)]=\sum_{x,y}f(x,y)\cdot P(X=x, Y=y).](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Bf%28X%2CY%29%5D%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7Df%28x%2Cy%29%5Ccdot%20P%28X%3Dx%2C%20Y%3Dy%29.)
Since f(X,Y)=X+Y
![E[X+Y]=\sum_{x,y}(x+y)P(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)+\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y).](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%2BY%5D%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7D%28x%2By%29P%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%5C%5C%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7DxP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%2B%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7DyP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29.)
Let us look at the first of these sums.
![\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x}x\sum_{y}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of x}\\=\sum_{x}xP(X=x)=E[X].](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7DxP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%5C%5C%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%7Dx%5Csum_%7By%7DP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTaking%20Marginal%20distribution%20of%20x%7D%5C%5C%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%7DxP%28X%3Dx%29%3DE%5BX%5D.)
Similarly,
![\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{y}y\sum_{x}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of y}\\=\sum_{y}yP(Y=y)=E[Y].](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csum_%7Bx%2Cy%7DyP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%5C%5C%3D%5Csum_%7By%7Dy%5Csum_%7Bx%7DP%28X%3Dx%2CY%3Dy%29%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTaking%20Marginal%20distribution%20of%20y%7D%5C%5C%3D%5Csum_%7By%7DyP%28Y%3Dy%29%3DE%5BY%5D.)
Combining these two gives the formula:
Therefore:
![E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y] \text{ as required.}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%2BY%5D%3DE%5BX%5D%2BE%5BY%5D%20%5Ctext%7B%20%20as%20required.%7D)
(b)We want to show that if X and Y are independent random variables, then:
By definition of Variance, we have that:
![Var(X+Y)=E(X+Y-E[X+Y]^2)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Var%28X%2BY%29%3DE%28X%2BY-E%5BX%2BY%5D%5E2%29)
![=E[(X-\mu_X +Y- \mu_Y)^2]\\=E[(X-\mu_X)^2 +(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\$Since we have shown that expectation is linear$\\=E(X-\mu_X)^2 +E(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2E(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\=E[(X-E(X)]^2 +E[Y- E(Y)]^2+2Cov (X,Y)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DE%5B%28X-%5Cmu_X%20%20%2BY-%20%5Cmu_Y%29%5E2%5D%5C%5C%3DE%5B%28X-%5Cmu_X%29%5E2%20%20%2B%28Y-%20%5Cmu_Y%29%5E2%2B2%28X-%5Cmu_X%29%28Y-%20%5Cmu_Y%29%5D%5C%5C%24Since%20we%20have%20shown%20that%20expectation%20is%20linear%24%5C%5C%3DE%28X-%5Cmu_X%29%5E2%20%20%2BE%28Y-%20%5Cmu_Y%29%5E2%2B2E%28X-%5Cmu_X%29%28Y-%20%5Cmu_Y%29%5D%5C%5C%3DE%5B%28X-E%28X%29%5D%5E2%20%20%2BE%5BY-%20E%28Y%29%5D%5E2%2B2Cov%20%28X%2CY%29)
Since X and Y are independent, Cov(X,Y)=0
Therefore as required:
