Problem 1 (Techniques of Chernoff Bound) (12+12-24 points) Let X1, Xy be non-negative independent random variables with continuous distributions (but X1, XN are not necessarily identically distributed). Assume that the PDFs of Xi's are uniformly bounded by 1. (a) Show that for every i, Eſexp(-+X:)]<, for all t > 0. (b) By using (a), show that for any e > 0, we have N P P(X SEN) S (es) ial (Hint: For any t > 0, PEN X: SEN) = Ple'EXX SeteN)=P(e-1.X > e-teN))
