If $Y = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^N X_i^2} $, where $X_i \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu,\sigma^2)$, i.e. all $X_i$ are i.i.d gaussian random variables of same mean and variance, then what is the resultant PDF of $Y$? How to calculate the mean and variance of the resultant pdf?

2$\begingroup$ This is only a slight variation of your other answered question - since you already know you need to look at the noncentral chi distribution, it is worth looking up this distribution first. Does this clarify your question? $\endgroup$ – Ben - Reinstate Monica Jul 2 '18 at 10:38

$\begingroup$ With the information @Ben gave you, you can now look up the answer. Is that what you seek, or do you want to know how the solution is derived? $\endgroup$ – whuber♦ Jul 2 '18 at 13:43
