Assume that the joint probability of X and Y is represented by the following table:

  1 2 3
1 0.32 0.03 0.01
2 0.06 0.24 0.02
3 0.02 0.03 0.27

What are the probability distribution of X and Y? Are they independent?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since ,the joint probability distribution of X and Y is given by,

  1 2 3 Total
1 0.32 0.03 0.01 0.36
2 0.06 0.24 0.02 0.32
3 0.02 0.03 0.27 0.32
Total 0.40 0.30 0.10  

Our aim is to find the probability distribution of X and Y.
