If F(x) and G(x) are two distribution functions, then are the product, and the mean of them distribution functions too in 3 dimensions?
I came across this problem as a beginner in probability theory, and I got various answers for it. I hope someone could help me with this.
$F(x)$ and $G(x)$ are CDFs. Is it true that $F(x)G(y)$ and $\frac{F(x)+G(y)}{2}$ are both CDFs too?
I tried to…

Proof of convergence of a geometric power series
While reading a time series analysis textebook I've stumbled upon an assertion which I struggle to understand.
If $|a|<1$ then
$1 + a+ a^2 + a^3 + ... + a^n$ converges to $\frac{1}{1-a}$ as $n$ approaches infinity.
A reference to a clear proof…

Double integral and the constant
I am confused about the constant in the double integral.
Let the integral be,
$$
F(x,y)+C = \int_y\int_x f(x,y) \, dx \, dy
$$
Assume that the integral can be solved by firstly integrating on $x$ and then finding the resulting integral over $y$.…
