Answer #1

given Z1 and Z2 are independent standard normal random variables
so the linear combination of Z1 and Z2 is again follows normal distribution as follows

as = 0 and =0 and =1 and =1 ( where , are means and standard deviation of Zi respectively)

X=3Z1-Z2

has normal distribution with μ=3(0)-1(0)= 0

variance= =9*1+(-1)^2*1= 10

so the probability density function is given by :

where =0 ,    =10
