Suppose that Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2, and suppose also that the conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y, is normal with mean y and variance 1.

(a) Argue that the joint distribution of X, Y is the same as that of Y+Z, Y when Z is a standard normal random variable that is independent of Y.

(b) Use the result of part (a) to argue that X, Y has a bivariate normal distribution.

(c) Find E[X], Var(X), and Corr(X, Y). (d) Find E[Y|X = x].

(e) What is the conditional distribution of Y given that X = x?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The joint distributior of X,Yis the same that ofY+Z,Y.
  2. The pair of the random variables Y+Z,Yhas a bivariate normal distribution
  3. It has been found that E(X)=,Var(X)=1+2,and Corr(X,Y)=2+1.
  4. It has been found that E[YX=x]=+22+1(x).
  5. The conditional distribution of Y given X=x is normal with mean E[YX=x]=+22+1(x-) and variance Var[YX=x]=22+1.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2

The conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y

Mean y and variance 1

02

Solution (Part a)

Let Zis a standard normal random variable and is independent of Y. The conditional distribution of Y+Zgiven that Y=yis normal with mean yand variance 1. Therefore, the joint distribution of X,Y is the same that of Y+Z,Y.

03

Final answer (Part a)

Therefore, the joint distributior of X,Y is the same that of Y+Z,Y.

04

Given information (Part b)

Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2

The conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y

Mean y and variance 1

05

Solution (Part b)

The pair of the random variables Y+Z,Yhas a bivariate normal distribution, because Y+Zand Yare both linear combinations of the independent normal random variables Y and Z.

06

Final answer (Part b)

The pair of the random variables Y+Z,Yhas a bivariate normal distribution

07

Given information (Part c)

Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2

The conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y

Mean y and variance 1

08

Solution (Part c)

Find E(X),Var(X), and

Now the calculation is,

Y~N,2&Z~N(0,1)

E(X)=E(Y+Z)

=E(Y)+E(Z)

=+0

=

Then,

Var(X)=Var(Y+Z)

=Var(Y)+Var(Z)+2Cov(Y,Z)

=2+1+2(0)

=1+2

09

Solution (Part c)

Calculate the correlation coefficient in below;

Corr(X,Y)=Corr(Y+Z,Y)

=Cov(Y+Z,Y)Var(Y+Z)Var(Y)

=E[(Y+Z)Y]E(Y+Z)E(Y)Var(X)Var(Y)

=EY2E(YZ)E(Y)E(Y)E(Z)E(Y)Var(X)Var(Y)

=EY2[E(Y)]2{E(YZ)E(Z)E(Y)}Var(X)Var(Y)

=Var(Y)Cov(Y,Z)Var(X)Var(Y)

=202+12

Yand Zare independent

=2+1

10

Final answer (Part c)

Therefore it has been found thatE(X)=,Var(X)=1+2,andCorr(X,Y)=2+1.

11

Given information (Part d)

Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2

The conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y

Mean y and variance 1

12

Solution (Part d)

We need to calculate the mean of the conditional distribution of Ygiven X=x.

E[YX=x]=E(Y)+Corr(X,Y)Var(Y)Var(X)(xE(X))

=+2+121+2(x)

=+22+1(x)

13

Final answer (Part d)

Therefore it has been found thatE[YX=x]=+22+1(x).

14

Given information (Part e)

Y is a normal random variable with mean 渭 and variance 2

The conditional distribution of X, given that Y = y

Mean y and variance 1

15

Solution (Part e)

From part (d), the mean of the conditional distribution of Ygiven X=xis

E[YX=x]=+22+1(x)

We need to calculate that the variance of the conditional distribution of Ygiven X=x.

Var[YX=x]=Var(Y)1[Corr(X,Y)]2

=212+12

=2122+1

=212+1

=21+2

16

Final answer (Part e)

Therefore, the conditional distribution of Y given X=x is normal with meanE[YX=x]=+22+1(x-) and varianceVar[YX=x]=22+1.
