Answer #1

It is given that correlation is zero between the variable, so the coefficient of correlation will be zero ,thus covariance is also zero, the required first part is covariance and the second will be solved as

Uncorrelated and Gaussian does not imply independent unless jointly Gaussian. Let X ∼N(0,1) and Y = WX, where p(W = −1) = p(W = 1) = 0 .5. It is clear that X and Y are not independent, since Y is a function of X. a. Show Y ∼N(0,1). b. Show cov[X,Y ]=0. Thus X and Y are uncorrelated but dependent, even though they are Gaussian.
