Let X be a random variable with E(X) = µ and V (X) = σ 2 . Let a and b be constants (fixed numbers) and define another random variable Y = aX + b. Find the E[Y ] and V [Y ] in terms of E(X) = µ and V (X) = σ 2 . From your results, tell whether adding or subtracting a constant to the random variable changes its variance.
