Please help me with the first problem

Linearity of expectation
SE S
Suppose that X and Y are random variables on the same
space of outcOmes
Then E(X + Y) = E(X)+ E(Y).
Why?
r.v.
We prove it for discrete random variables
(X+y) G).
valne of X+Y
when outame is s
• Let S be the space of outcomes for X and Y
Then E(X + Y) = ESES(X+ Y)(s) = EX(s) + Y(s)):
EsX(s) + Es?Y(s) = E(X)+ E(Y) 1
Problem: Prove that E(cX) = cE(X) for constants c and
discrete random variables X
