Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a random variable Z defined with a joint PMF across three dimensions. Determine the marginal PMF for Z and check if it influences the independence of the two other dimensions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break the problem down dimension by dimension!

Question 2

Given a continuous distribution defined in a non-standard region, derive its joint PDF and confirm its validity before calculating marginal PDFs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on region boundaries for proper limits!
