1. Problem 1. As defined in the problem, A —B is composed of the elements
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
min A that are not in B. Thus, the items to be noted are true. Making
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
muse of the properties of the probability function, we find that:
m m m m m m m m m m
P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B — A)
m m m m m m m m m m m
and that:m
P (B) = P (B — A) + P (A ∩ B).
m m m m m m m m m m m
Combining the two results, we find that: m m m m m m
P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) — P (A ∩ B).

2. Problem 2. m
(a) It is clear that fX (α) ≥ 0. Thus, we need only check that

the integral of the PDF is equal to 1. We find that:

Thus fX(α) is indeed a PDF. m m m m m m
(b) Because fX(α) is even, its expected value must be zero. Addition-

Clearly the piece of the integral associated with ue−u /2 is zero. The

remaining integral is just µ times the integral of the PDF of the

Now let us consider the variance of the RV—let us consider E((X —µ)2).
