Use the law of iterated expectation to calculate
Suppose we have a stick of length L. We break it once at some point X _ Unif(0;L). Then we break it again at some point Y _ Unif(0;X). Use the law of iterated expectation to calculate E[Y ].
Expert
X is the length of the stick after we break for the ?rst time. Y is the length after the second time.
We have E[ Y | X ] = X /2, since the breakpoint is chosen uniformly over the length X of the remaining stick. similarly, E[X ] = L/2.
E[Y] = E[E [Y | X ] ]= E[X/2]=E[X]/2 = L/4

Random variables with zero correlation are not necessarily independent. Give a simple example.
Discuss the following statements and explain why they are true or false: a) Increasing the number of predictor variables will never decrease the R2 b) Multicollinearity affects the int
