Find the variance of a random variables


Discuss the below:

Q: Suppose that X and Y are random variables such that E(X) = 4, E(Y) = 2 and var(X) = var(Y) = 4. Let Z=X+Y.

1. Find E(Z) (1 dp)

2. Assuming that X and Y are statistically independent find var(Z) (1 dp) 3. Assuming that cov(X,Y) = 2 find var(Z) (1dp)
