Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

Two random variables are independent if:

  • A) They have the same marginal distribution
  • B) P(X = x
  • Y = y) = P(X = x)P(Y = y)
  • C) Cov(X
  • Y) = 0

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the definition of independence.

Question 2

If Cov(X, Y) = 0, then X and Y are definitely independent.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider examples of uncorrelated but dependent variables.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Two people flip a coin simultaneously. Let A be the event of 'Person 1 gets heads' and B be 'Person 2 gets heads'. Are the events A and B independent? Justify your answer with probabilities.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the outcomes of independent events.

Question 2

Given two dice rolls defined as random variables X and Y, show whether they are independent if the results are analyzed via conditional probabilities.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the outcome of each die is calculated.
