Chapter 4.2 Problem 4.2-7
Question
Let the joint pmf of X and Y be
\(f(x, y) = 1/4,\quad (x, y)~ \epsilon ~S = {(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, -11), (2, 0)}\).
(a) Are X and Y independent?
(b) Calculate Cov(X, Y) and \(\rho\).
This exercise also illustrates the fact that dependent random variables can have a correlation coefficient of zero.
