Compute \(P\left(X_{1}+2 X_{2}-2 X_{3}>7\right)\), if \(X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3}\) are iid with common distribution \(N(1,4)\).
Let \(X\) have the conditional Weibull pdf.
$$
f(x \mid \theta)=\theta \tau x^{\tau-1} e^{-\theta x^{\tau}}, \quad 0
Let \(X\) and \(Y\) have a bivariate normal distribution with parameters \(\mu_{1}=\) 20, \(\mu_{2}=40, \sigma_{1}^{2}=9, \sigma_{2}^{2}=4\), and \(\rho=0.6\). Find the shortest interval for which \(0.90\) is the conditional probability that \(Y\) is in the interval, given that \(X=22\).
Let \(X\) and \(Y\) have a bivariate normal distribution with parameters

Let \(U\) and \(V\) be independent random variables, each having a standard normal
distribution. Show that the mgf \(E\left(e^{t(U V)}\right)\) of the random
variable \(U V\) is \(\left(1-t^{2}\right)^{-1 / 2},-1
