1. Let X ∼ Np (0p , Ip ), A ∈ Rp be symmetric and idempotent, A = i=1 Ai and Rank(A) =
Pk p×p is symmetric for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Obtain the joint probability
i=1 Rank(A i ) where A i ∈ R
density function of X0 A1 X, X0 A2 X, . . . , X0 Ak X. (5)
2. Let {Xi } be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with mean 0 and variance σ 2 > 0. Take

1 Pn |X̄n |
X̄n = n i=1 Xi for all n ≥ 1. Compute lim E . (5)
n→∞ |X̄n | + 1
3. Let {Xn } be a sequence of random variables. If E(Xn ) → θ ∈ R and Var(Xn ) → 0, then show
P
that Xn → θ as n → ∞. Also show that the converse may not hold. (5+5=10)
