GATE Mechanical 2021 Set 1 | Question: 5
Consider a binomial random variable $\text{X}$. If $X_{1},X_{2},\dots ,X_{n}$ are independent and identically distributed samples from the distribution of $\text{X}$ with sum $Y=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}$, then the distribution of $\text{Y}$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$ can be approximated as Exponential Bernoulli Binomial Normal

Let $X_1$ and $X_2$ be two independent exponentially distributed random variables with means $0.5$ and $0.25$, respectively. Then $Y=\text{min}(X_1, X_2)$ is exponentially distributed with mean $1/6$ exponentially distributed with mean $2$ normally distributed with mean $3/4$ normally distributed with mean $1/6$

Let $X_1, \: X_2$ be two independent normal random variables with means $\mu_1, \: \ \mu_2$ and standard deviations $\sigma_1, \: \sigma_2$, respectively. Consider $Y=X_1-X_2; \: \mu_1 = \mu_2 =1, \: \sigma_1=1, \: \sigma_2=2$. Then, $Y$ is normally ... $0$ and variance $5$, but is NOT normally distributed $Y$ has mean $0$ and variance $1$, but is NOT normally distributed
