Calculate the expectation and the variance of a variable following the distribution $\mathcal { R }$, where $\mathcal{R}$ is defined by $X ( \Omega ) = \{ - 1,1 \}$, $\mathbb { P } ( X = - 1 ) = \mathbb { P } ( X = 1 ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$.
We consider $n$ discrete random variables $Y_1, \ldots, Y_n$ with random vector $Y$ and covariance matrix $\Sigma_Y$. We denote by $P$ the change of basis matrix from the canonical basis of $\mathcal{M}_{n,1}(\mathbb{R})$ to an orthonormal basis formed by eigenvectors of $\Sigma_Y$. We define the discrete random variable $X = P^\top Y$, and $\Sigma_X$ is a diagonal matrix.
Deduce that the eigenvalues of $\Sigma_Y$ are all positive.
