SUMMARY
A linear combination of two Gaussian random variables results in another Gaussian random variable. This conclusion is established by deriving the distribution of the linear combination using properties of Gaussian distributions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the mathematical foundations behind Gaussian distributions and their linear combinations, which is crucial for statistical analysis and probability theory.
