Question 1

What does a joint probability mass function describe?

  • The probability of one random variable
  • The combined probability of two discrete random variables
  • The area under a curve

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on 'joint' – it's about combinations.

Question 2

True or False: A joint pmf must always yield a negative probability.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Probabilities should not dip below zero!

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have a joint pmf with P(X=0, Y=1) = 0.3 and P(X=0, Y=2) = 0.2. Calculate the marginal pmf for P(X=0).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Total all probabilities corresponding to X=0.

Question 2

Given a joint pmf indicating the failure rate of two machines X and Y is connected, show if they are independent or not, and explain why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Independence means multiplication of individual probabilities works every time!
