Question 1 (13 marks)

For the bivariate normal density (f(x_1,x_2)=c\exp\left{-\frac{1}{2}Q\right}), where (Q=4x_1^2+x_2^2-2x_1x_2), determine:

(i) the dispersion matrix (\Sigma), and hence obtain the value of the constant (c);
(ii) the marginal density of (X_2);
(iii) the conditional density of (X_1) given (X_2=x_2);
(iv) the expected value of (Q).
