bad cropping, but there it is. i suggest using an app called photo math if youre having trouble. it shows you the step by step process
What I gather from the question is that
has second moment
and variance
, and you're asked to find the expectation and variance of the random variable
.
From the given second moment and variance, we find the expectation of
:

Expectation is linear, so

Using the same variance identity, we have

and

so that

Alternatively, we can use the identity
