Solution 3E

Step1 of 11:

From the given problem we have:

x

y

-1

-2

1/8

-0.5

-1

1/4

0.5

1

1/2

1

1/8

 

Here our goal is:

a). We need to find

b). We need to find

c). We need to find

d). We need to find

e). We need to find

f). We need to find marginal probability distribution X.

g). We need to find conditional probability distribution of Y given that X = 1.

h). We need to find conditional probability distribution of X given that Y = 1.

i). We need to find

j). We need to check whether X and Y independent or not.


Step2 of 11:

a).

Suppose X and Y are discrete random variables then, The joint probability mass function must be satisfied,
