Let X be a random variable with CDF F(x). (a) Show that E[(X-c)^2] is minimized by the value c = E(X


Question: Let X be a random variable with CDF F(x).

(a) Show that E[(X-c)^2] is minimized by the value c = E(X).

(b) Assuming that X is continuous, show that E[absolute value of (X-c)] is minimized if c is the median, that is, the value such that F(c) = ½.
