Question:

3.7 Let X be a positive random variable.

(a) If EX < ∞, then the value of c that minimizes E|X/c − 1| is a solution to EXI (X ≤

c) = EXI (X ≥ c), which is known as a scale median.

(b) Let Y have a χ2-distribution with f degrees for freedom. Then, the minimizing value is w = f + 2. [Hint:

(b) Example 1.5.9.]
