1. Past research experirence (reinforcenment learning, model explainability). A lot of followups. 2. Bias and variance trade-off in random forest. 3. Linear regression closed-form solution (w/ and w/o L2 regularization).

There are three random variables, $X,Y,Z$. The three correlations between the three variables are the same. That is, $$\rho = \Corr(X,Y) = \Corr(Y,Z) = \Corr (Z,X)$$ What is the tightest bound you can give for $\rho$? How about the general case for $n$ random variables?
