Conditional Gaussian Distribution

Let X1 and X2 are Jointly Gaussian Random Variables(Which Implies They are Individually Gaussian) i.e.,

X1N(0,σ21)
and
X2N(0,σ22)
, with Correlation Coefficient as ρ.

Then we Know that :

fX1X2(x1,x2)=(12πσ1σ21ρ2)×e12(1ρ2)(x21σ212ρx1x2σ1σ2+x22σ22)x1,x2()


Prove that :
E(X2|X1)=ρx1σ2σ1

Var(X2|X1)=σ22(1ρ2)

  1. By Simple Algebra, The Random Variable X2|X1 is also Gaussian Distributed, with Mean and Variance Given above.
