Joint Density FN

The joint probability mass function of two random variables X and Y is given. 1) The marginal probability mass functions of X and Y are computed. 2) The probability that X is less than or equal to 1 and Y is less than or equal to 1 is calculated to be 0.42. 3) X and Y are found to be dependent since the product of their individual probabilities does not equal their joint probability for some values.

2) P[ X  1, Y  1]
3) Check if X and Y are independent.

1) P(X)=0.16 0.34 0.5 P(Y)=0.24 0.38 0.38

P[ X  1,Y  1]  P[ X  1,Y  0]  P[ X  1,Y  1]


2)
 P[ X  0,Y  0]  P[ X  1,Y  0]  P[ X  0,Y  1]  P[ X  1,Y  1]

=0.42

3) To test whether X and Y are independent:


P[X=0]. P[Y=0]=0.16 .0.24  1
P[X=0]. P[Y=0]  P[X=0,Y=0]
 X and Y are not independent.
