1. Let X and Y be jointly discrete random variables (you could think of X as being the return of some stock and Y be the return of another stock). Their joint probability distribution is described by the following table
- = 4x= 2
0:4 | 0:2 |
0:1 | 0:3 |
- = 9 y= 4
Answer each of the following questions (and show all the steps required to arrive at the solution. If a calculation is required, need to show it for full credit)
- What is the probability that X=2 and Y=9, P[X= 2;Y= 9]?
- What is the probability that Y=9?
- What is the probability that Y=9 given that X=4?
- Compute E[Y]
- Compute E[YjX= 4]
- Compute V ar(Y)
- Compute
