Question: 8.3 ( ) Consider three binary variables a, b, c {0, 1} having the joint distribution given in Table 8.2. Show by direct evaluation
8.3 ( ) Consider three binary variables
a, b, c ∈ {0, 1} having the joint distribution given in Table 8.2. Show by direct evaluation that this distribution has the property that a and b are marginally dependent, so that p
(a,
b) = p(a)p(b), but that they become independent when conditioned on
c, so that p
(a, b|c) = p(a|c)p(b|c) for both c = 0 and c = 1.
