How to calculate expected value and variance of a random variable [closed]
-1
Let the random variable $Y$ have the following density:
$$f(y) = frac{1+beta y}2, -1 le y le 1, -1 le beta le 1$$
Find $E(Y)$ and $V(Y)$.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Placing the question on hold seems awfully drastic. It is obvious the question is being put by someone who is just beginning a course in probability theory. The supplied answer is something that is usually given early in any probability course taken after elementary calculus.

$E(Y^k)=int_{-1}^1y^kf(y)dy$. $V(Y)=E(Y^2)-E(Y)^2$. I presume you can do the calculations.
