Abstract: For a given positive random variable $V>0$ and a given $ZsimN(0,1)$ independent of $V$, we compute the scalar $t_0$ such that the distance between $ZsqrtV$ and $Zsqrt{t}_0$ in the $L^2(R)$ sense, is minimal. We also consider the same problem in several dimensions when $V$ is a random positive definite matrix.
