Suppose f and g are non-negative bounded Borel functions. Let X1 and X2 be random variables
A. Show that ( f (X1) f (X2))(g(X1) g(X2)) is a non-negative random variable.
B. Now suppose that X1 andX2 are independent and equi-distributed. Show that 2Cov(f(X1),g(X1)) = Cov( f (X1) f (X2), g(X1) g(X2)).
C. Show that Cov( f (X1), g(X1)) 0.
