Question: 1.) Suppose X1, X2, are independent identically distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1. Let S n denote the partial sum S n
1.) Suppose X1, X2, are independent identically distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1.
Let Sn denote the partial sum Sn = X1 + .... + Xn.
Let Fn (filtration) denote the information contained in X1 + .... + Xn. Please answer all parts a-d of the following question. Please show all work and all steps clearly for parts a-d.
(a) Compute E[X2n+1|Fn].
(b) Compute E[SnXn+1|Fn].
(c) Compute E[S2n+1 |Fn]. Hint: Write S2n+1 = (Sn + Xn+1)2
(d) Verify that S2n n is a martingale
