Problem on Chebyshevs theorem

1. Prove that the law of iterated expectations for continuous random variables.

2. Prove that the bounds in Chebyshev's theorem cannot be improved upon. I.e., provide a distribution which satisfies the bounds exactly for k ≥1, show that it satisfies the bounds exactly, and draw its PDF. Then describe why, logically, this is similar as providing that the bounds cann't be improved upon.

3. In a logit model ln (p(X;Z) / (1-p(X;Z))  ) = α + β1X + β2Z, explain why the marginal effect of X on Y is a function of Z, even though there is no interaction term between Z and X is present.
