- Consider a normal random variable \(X\) with mean \(\mu_1\) and standard deviation \(\sigma_1\)
- Consider a normal random variable \(Y\) with mean \(\mu_2\) and standard deviation \(\sigma_2\).
Assume that \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent and define \(Z=X+Y\)
- What is the distribution of \(Z\) ?
- What is the mean and variance of \(Z\) ?
- (**) If we now assume that they are not independent, but still normal as described above, what can you say ?
