Question:

Suppose that X1 and X2 are independent Bernoulli trials each with probability 1/2, and let X3 = (X1 + X2) mod 2.
a) Show that X1, X2, and X3 are pair wise independent, but X3 and X1 + X2 are not independent.
b) Show that V (X1 + X2 + X3) = V (X1) + V (X2) + V (X3).
c) Explain why a proof by mathematical induction of Theorem 7 does not work by considering the random variables X1, X2, and X3.
