Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

Two random variables X and Y are independent if:

  • f(X,Y) = f(X) + f(Y)
  • f(X,Y) = f(X) * f(Y)
  • f(X,Y) = f(X) - f(Y)

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the formula for independence.

Question 2

If f(X,Y) is not equal to f(X) * f(Y), then X and Y are:

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the condition for independence.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose X and Y have joint PDF given as f(X,Y) = 1/(2πσ^2)e^(-((X-ΞΌ_x)^2+(Y-ΞΌ_y)^2)/(2Οƒ^2)) for X,Y in ℝ. Prove if X and Y are independent.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on calculating the marginals carefully.

Question 2

In a study, varX and varY are found to be independent with PDFs being non-overlapping across all domains. Discuss the implications on their expected values.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how independence affects the products of expectations.
