Suppose that you enter a fantasy baseball league. Suppose that the 2021 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval , where the unit is U.S. million dollars. In addition, suppose that after the value has been observed , the 2022 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval . In other words, the 2022 budget is at most as large as the 2021 budget. a) For any given value of x(50<x<350), obtain E[Y|X=x] b) In view of part (a), obtain E[Y|X] c) Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series title. Their estimated 2022 payroll is about $130 million. Would your 2022 fantasy baseball budget be on average larger than their 2022 payroll? Explain briefly.
