Let xb a random variable a and b are constants, Var(y) = (σ_y) ^2 = Var (a+bx) = Var(a) + Var (bx) = 0 + b^2 Var (x) = b^2 (σ_x) ^2 . prove that.
and prove:
1) y = a - bx
Var(y) = Var(a-bx) = b^2 (σ_x) ^2
2) z = x+y x and y are independent
Var(z) = Var(x+y) = Var(x) +Var(y) = (σ_x) ^2 + (σ_y) ^2
3) z = x-y
Var(z) = (σ_x) ^2 + (σ_y) ^2
