Question:

Let X be a random variable with cdf F(x) and let T (F) be a functional. We say that T (F) is a scale functional if it satisfies the three properties

Show that the following functionals are scale functionals.
(a) The standard deviation, T (FX) = (Var(X))1/2.
(b) The interquartile range, T (FX) = F−1X (3/4) − F−1X (1/4).
