(Solution Library) Suppose that X and Y follow a bivariate (standard) normal distribution with parameter -1 f_X, Y(x, y)=(1)/(2 π √1-\rho^2) \exp -1/2


Question: Suppose that \(X\) and \(Y\) follow a bivariate (standard) normal distribution with parameter \(-1<\rho<1\), and with joint probability density function

\[f_{X, Y}(x, y)=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{1-\rho^{2}}} \exp \left\{-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\left(x^{2}-2 \rho x y+y^{2}\right)}{1-\rho^{2}}\right\}, \quad-\infty Show that the joint mgf of \(X\) and \(Y\) is given by

\[M_{X, Y}(s, t)=\exp \left\{\frac{1}{2}\left(t^{2}+2 \rho s t+s^{2}\right)\right\}\]

and then find the marginal mgfs of \(X\) and \(Y\). Using the joint and marginal mgfs, calculate the correlation between \(X\) and \(Y\). Show that \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent only when \(\rho=0\).
