Consider three independent random variables X, W1, and W2. Construct two new random variables Y1 and Y2 from simple algebraic combinations of X, W1, and W2 such that Y1 and Y2 are not independent, but are conditionally independent given X.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

the answer is 13 cm
