Give an example of a random variable X : {b, c, d, e} → N (Natural Number) with expectation 2, where each of {b, c, d, e} has equal probability
Use rules of inference to show that if ∀x(P (x) ∨ Q(x)) and ∀x((¬P (x) ∧ Q(x)) → R(x)) are true, then ∀x(¬R(x) → P (x)) is also true, where the domains of all quantifiers are the same
Let X and Y be two binary, discrete random variables with the following joint probability mass functions. (a) Compute P(X = 0]Y = 1). (b) Show that X and Y are not statistically independent. P(X = 0, y = 1) = P(X = 1, Y = 0) = 3/8 P(X = 0, y = 0) = P(X = 1, Y = 1) = 1/8
