Question 1188501:  (4 points) The joint probability mass function of X and Y is given by
 
p(1,1)=0.45 p(2,1)=0.05 p(3,1)=0.1 
p(1,2)=0.05 p(2,2)=0    p(3,2)=0.05 
p(1,3)=0.1  p(2,3)=0.1  p(3,3)=0.1 
(a) Compute the conditional mass function of Y given X=1: P(Y=1|X=1)=
 
P(Y=2|X=1)=
 
P(Y=3|X=1)=
 
(b) Are X and Y independent? (enter YES or NO)=
 
(c) Compute the following probabilities: 
P(X+Y>4)=
 
P(XY=3)=
 
P(XY>2)=

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! probability x=1 is first column or 0.60. 
The probability y=1 where x=1 is overall 0.45, so the conditional probability is 0.75. 
For y=2, it is 0.05/0.60=0.0833 
for y=3, it is 0.1/0.6=0.1667 
for independence, p(x1 and y1)=p(x1)*p(y1) 
probability of both x1 and y1=0.45 (upper left column) 
probability of x1=0.6 and probability of y1=0.6. 
Because that product (0.36) does not equal 0.45, they are not independent. (NO) 
- 
probability (X+Y)>4, look at (2,3)(3,3)(3,2), and that sum prob. is 0.25 
probability (XY)=3 has two entrees, each 0.1 for a probability of 0.2 
probability of (XY)>2 is 1-the complement, which is 0.45
