A random variable U with this density, for arbitraryµ and 0, is defined to be a Gaussian random variable and is denoted U ⇠ N(µ,2). The added generality of a mean often obscures formulas; we usually assume zero-mean rv’s and random vectors (rv’s) and add means later if necessary. Recall that any rv U with a
