请教一个概率问题# EE - 电子工程

assume X1 and X2 are independent and identically distributed r.v.
with mean E[X] =1
let Y = max(X1,X2)
how to show that E[Y] <= 2E[X]
Thanks!

I tried for a while. What I believe is that you missed some condition, such as
X1 is positive definite.
Reason: counter-example:
P(X1=-2)=1/2
P(X1=4)=1/2
X1, X2 iid,
E(X1)=(-2)*1/2+4/2=-1+2=1
Then
P(Y=-2)=1/4
P(Y=4)=3/4
E(Y)=-1/2+3=5/2>2
Do you think so?

Let's re by myself, hehe.
If X1 is non-negative. The statement is true by using the equation:
E(X)=integer(1-F_X(x)){x from 0 to infitie}
You can find it is easy to show and the condition E(X1)=1 is useless.

Yeah, sorry, i forget a condition, X>0, actually, X = k*a, a is a small number
and a>0, k is positive integer.
