Determine whether E[X|X>2] + E[Y|X>2] can always be combined to form E[X+Y| X>2] or not. Give clear reasoning for full marks.
Let Z = X + Y
Let Rx, Ry, Rz be the regions over which x, y, z are defined/
Given X > 2, the conditional distribution of Z = X + Y will be different than the conditional distribution of X and Y,
Thus, E[X|X>2] + E[Y|X>2] cannot always be combined to form E[X+Y| X>2]
