Let X,Y∼Bin(n,0.5) for some positive n.
What is a lower bound for E(XY)? When is it achieved?
My try:
I got confused by the following two results and couldn't proceed!
By Jensen's, E(XY)≥E(X)E(Y). But we also know that cov(X,Y)=E(XY)−E(X)E(Y), and this quantity can be negative!
Please help me to proceed. Thanks in advance!
