Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

If P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x) * P(Y=y), what can we say about X and Y?

  • They are dependent
  • They are independent
  • Not enough information

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of the joint probability.

Question 2

True or False: Independence of random variables means that their expected values can be treated independently.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how expected values are combined for independent variables.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider two continuous random variables X and Y with joint PDF f(x, y) = e^(-x) * e^(-y). Verify if they are independent.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look closely how you can factor the joint PDF.

Question 2

In a certain communication system, noise variables N1 and N2 are modeled as independent. If both have a mean of 0 and variance of 1, what can be said about their influence on the total noise N = N1 + N2?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the properties of independent random variables.
