Independence and UnCorrelated

We Know that if Two Random variables X and Y are  Independent Statistically, Then

E(XY)=E(X)E(Y), i.e., They are UnCorrelated. It Doesnt Mean that Dependent Random Variables are Always Correlated. Lets Think of Some Examples with Dependent Random Variables being UnCorrelated.

  1. Let X be any Random Variable with pdf having Even Symmetry i.e.,

    fX(x)=fX(x), Then
    E(X2k+1)=0,kZ0
    Now if random variable Y=X2kkZ0,i.e., Y is Dependent on X , Then

    E(XY)=0 From above. Also E(X)=0 for k=0, so E(X)E(Y)=0

    so E(XY)=E(X)E(Y)
