Show that lack of correlation does not imply independence


The purpose of this problem is to show that lack of correlation does not imply independence, even when the two random variables are Gaussian !!!

We assume that X, ∈1 and ∈2 are independent random variables, that X ∼ N(0, 1), and that P{
i = -1} = P{∈i = +1} = 1/2 for i = 1, 2. We define the random variable X1 and X2 by:

1. Prove that X1 ∼ N(0, 1), X2 ∼ N(0, 1) and that ρ{X1, X2} = 0.

2. Show that X1 and Xare not independent.
