Math Problem Statement

List the sets in σ(X), determine E[Y|X] and verify the partial-averaging property, determine E[Z|X], and verify the partial-averaging property.

Solution

The content of the image appears to be an exercise in probability theory and focuses on verifying certain properties related to conditional expectations. Specifically, the questions deal with:

  1. Listing sets in the sigma algebra σ(X)\sigma(X).
  2. Determining E[YX]E[Y | X], and verifying the partial-averaging property for specific values of aa, bb, cc, and dd.
  3. Determining E[ZX]E[Z | X] and verifying the partial-averaging property again.
  4. The final problem relates to E[YX]E[Y | X] and makes use of properties from conditional expectations, specifically from a theorem.

Here's a breakdown of the tasks:

  • (i): Listing the sets in σ(X)\sigma(X), where X={0,{a,b},{c,d}}X = \{0, \{a,b\}, \{c,d\}\}.
  • (ii): Calculation of E[YX]E[Y | X], demonstrating it for some values of a,b,c,a, b, c, and dd. This also involves verifying the partial-averaging property.
  • (iii): A similar verification for E[ZX]E[Z | X], where ZZ is another random variable.
  • (iv): There's an explanation of conditional expectation properties, referencing a theorem from conditional expectation theory.
