If a random variable X has values 1, 2 and 3 with corresponding probabilities ¼, ¼ and ½, and a random variable Y has values 1 and 2 with probabilities of 2/3 and 1/3, construct the joint probability point function for X and Y if the random variables are independent.
Pr(X = 1, Y = 1) = (1/4)(2/3) = 1/6.Originally Posted by matty888
Pr(X = 1, Y = 2) = (1/4)(1/3) = 1/12.
Pr(X = 2, Y = 1) = (1/4)(2/3) = 1/6.
Pr(X = 2, Y = 2) = (1/4)(1/3) = 1/12.
Pr(X = 3, Y = 1) = (1/2)(2/3) = 1/3.
Pr(X = 3, Y = 2) = (1/2)(1/3) = 1/6.
