Could you prompt me, please, is it true?

Expected value of $XYZ$, $E(XYZ)$, is not always $E(X)E(Y)E(Z)$, even if $X$, $Y$, $Z$ are not correlated in pairs, because if $X$, $Y$, $Z$ are not correlated in pairs it doesn't entail that they are uncorrelated in aggregate (it is my idea)?

    David Mitra, thank you! I didn't this topic when I was searching for similar topics here. Didier Piau, thank you, I have understood it through the example below.2011-12-17

Suppose $ (X,Y,Z) = \begin{cases} (1,1,0) & \text{with probability }1/4 \\ (1,0,1) & \text{with probability }1/4 \\ (0,1,1) & \text{with probability }1/4 \\ (0,0,0) & \text{with probability }1/4 \end{cases} $ Then $X,Y,Z$ are pairwise independent, and $E(X)E(Y)E(Z)=1/8\ne 0 = E(XYZ)$.

    This turns out to be a good counterexample for lots of questions relating independence and pairwise independence. I like to think of it as flipping two coins: $X$ is the outcome of the first coin, $Y$ is the outcome of the second coin, and $Z$ denotes whether the two coins came up the same or different.2011-12-17

Let $\Omega=\{\omega_1,\omega_2, \omega_3, \omega_4\}$, $\mathcal{F}=2^{\Omega}$ and $\mathbb{P}(\{\omega_i\})=1/4$ for all $i$. It is easy to check that desired random variables are $ X=1_{\{\omega_1,\omega_2\}},\quad Y=1_{\{\omega_1,\omega_3\}},\quad Z=1_{\{\omega_1,\omega_4\}} $

    Not at all, it was well known example.2011-12-17
