Question 1

What is the definition of a random variable?

  • A fixed value in statistics
  • A function assigning real numbers to outcomes
  • An uncountable set of outcomes

💡 Hint: Remember, it relates to outcomes of uncertainty.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have two discrete random variables, A and B, with the following probabilities: P(A=1)=0.4, P(A=2)=0.6, P(B=1)=0.5, P(B=2)=0.5. Verify if A and B are independent if P(A=1, B=1)=0.2.

💡 Hint: Use the independence condition to verify.

Question 2

In a continuous scenario, if the joint probability density function for X and Y is f(x, y) = e^(-x) * e^(-y) for x,y>0, analyze the independence of X and Y.

💡 Hint: Express the joint PDF in terms of marginal PDFs.
