Let ✗ be a random variable denoting your winnings. X can take the values 10, if you win teh bet, 0 if there is a score tie, or -10 if you lose. You know that the probability distribution for ✗ is denoted by f(x) and it depends on whether she studied for the exam or not. Let Y be the random variable that indicates if she studied, Y = 0 if she studied and Y = 1 if she did not study. The following table denotes the joint distribution of X and Y : Y=0 Y=1 f(x) X = -10 0.18 P1 P2 X = 0 0 P3 0.3 X = 10 P4 0.45 P5 f(y) P6 0.75 Probabilities P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 are not displayed in the table.
