Question: A software program is designed to perform two tasks, A and B. Let X represent the number of IF-THEN statements in the code for task

A software program is designed to perform two tasks, A and B. Let X represent the number of IF-THEN statements in the code for task A and let Y represent the number of IF-THEN statements in the code for task B. The joint probability distribution p(x, y) for the two discrete random variables is given in the accompanying table.

1 4 5 .050 .025 0 .025 Y 1 .200 .050 .300

a. Verify that the properties of a joint probability distribution hold.
b. Find the marginal probability distribution p1(x) for X.
c. Find the marginal probability distribution p2(y) for Y.
d. Find the conditional probability distribution p1 (x Ι y).
e. Find the conditional probability distribution p2 (y Ι x).

1 4 5 .050 .025 0 .025 Y 1 .200 .050 .300 .100 .100 .150 2.
