Practice — Linear combinations of random variables • Exam questions

Linear combinations and independent normal comparisons: check 1
Difficulty: ★★☆
2909
Info
M4U-EXT-QP-9709-S2-S2-LINEAR-RV-O1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Independent variables have \(X\sim N(17,3),\ Y\sim N(21,3)\). Put \(Z=2X-Y\). The normal notation uses variance as its second parameter.

Find E(Z).

Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.
