Question:

48. Suppose that we want to predict the value of a random variable X by using one of the predictors Y1, . . . , Yn, each of which satisfies E[Yi |X] = X. Show that the predictor Yi that minimizes E[(Yi − X)2] is the one whose variance is smallest.

Hint: Compute Var(Yi) by using the conditional variance formula.
