Question:

Let {eq}Y_1 {/eq} and {eq}Y_2 {/eq} be discrete random variables with the joint probability given in the table below:

Y_1
0 1 2
Y_2 0 0 0.20 0.15
1 0.20 0.20 0.10
2 0.10 0.05 0

(a) Find the marginal density for {eq}Y {/eq}

(b) Are {eq}Y_1 {/eq} and {eq}Y_2 {/eq} independent? Show your reasoning.

(c) Find the conditional distribution of {eq}Y_1 {/eq} given {eq}Y_2 = 1 {/eq}

(d) Compute {eq}P(Y_1 = 1 | Y_2 \geq 1) {/eq}

Joint Probability distribution

The marginal distribution in Joint Probability distribution is calculated by integrating the variable joint PDF with respect to that particular variable under the given limit. The total of marginal distribution must also hold the property of a well-defined PDF.

b

The probability when both Y1 and Y2 are 0 = 0

Probability when Y1 is 0 = 0.3

Probability when Y2 is 0 = 0.35

The product of both...
