E(XY) = E(X) E(Y) if X and Y are independet. What about E(X+Y) ?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The formula E(XY) = E(X) E(Y) holds true only when X and Y are independent random variables. However, when it comes to finding the expected value of X + Y, we cannot apply the same formula because the sum of two random variables is not necessarily independent.

To calculate E(X+Y), we need to use a different approach. We can use the linearity property of expected values, which states that:

E(aX + bY) = aE(X) + bE(Y)

where a and b are constants.

Using this property, we can rewrite X+Y as 1*X + 1*Y and apply the formula:

E(X+Y) = 1*E(X) + 1*E(Y)

Therefore, the expected value of X+Y is simply the sum of their individual expected values.<|im_end|>

What about E(x^y)? Is it true that E(x^y)=E(x)^(E(y))?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, it is not generally true that E(X^Y) = E(X)^E(Y).

This is because the expectation operator is nonlinear and does not generally satisfy the property of taking exponents.

In particular, the property E(aX) = aE(X) only holds for a constant a, and does not hold for a random variable Y.

To see this, consider the following counterexample: Let X be a standard normal random variable and let Y = X^2. Then we have:

E(X) = 0, and E(Y) = E(X^2) = Var(X) + E(X)^2 = 1

However, E(X^Y) is not equal to E(X)^E(Y). In fact, it is not even clear how to compute E(X^Y) in closed form, since the distribution of X^Y is generally complicated and does not have a simple formula.

So in general, we cannot simplify the expectation of a function of two random variables in this way, and we need to compute it directly from the joint distribution of X and Y.<|im_end|>
