Question 1

What is the definition of independent random variables?

  • They influence each other's distribution
  • They do not affect each other's probabilities
  • They must have the same mean

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how one event might not influence another.

Question 2

For discrete variables, P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x) * P(Y=y) holds true if they are independent. True or False?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the definition you studied.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a joint distribution P(X,Y) = P(X)P(Y) where P(X=1) = 0.5, P(Y=1)=0.4, find P(X=1, Y=1).

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

Question 2

Prove that two random variables are dependent if P(X=x,Y=y) does not equal P(X=x)P(Y=y).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider cases where the multiplication law fails.
