Question 1

Suppose E(X) = 2, Var(X) = 9, E(Y)=0, Var(Y)=4 and Corr(X,Y)=0.25. Find:
a) Var(X + Y)
b) Cov(X, X + Y)
c) Corr(X + Y, X - Y)

Question 2
If X and Y are dependent but Var(X) = Var(Y), find Cov(X + Y, X - Y)

Question 3
Suppose Yt = 5 + 2t +Xt, where (Xt) is a zero-mean stationary series with autoco-variance function yk.
a) Find the mean function for {Yt}.
b) Find the autocovarience function for {Yt}.
c) Is {Yt} stationary? Why or why not?
