Solution: Consider the following joint probability mass function of two random variables X and Y: p(x, y) 1 2 3 4 1 0.1 0.1 0 0 2 0 0 0.2 0 3 0 0.4 0.2 0


Question: (20 points) Consider the following joint probability mass function of two random variables X and Y:

p(x, y) 1 2 3 4

1 0.1 0.1 0 0

2 0 0 0.2 0

3 0 0.4 0.2 0

  1. Find the following quantities: p(x), p(y), p(y|x), and E[YIX].
  2. What is your best estimate of Y given that X = 2. Justify your answer
    Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer by checking if p(x, y) = p(x)p(y). You can also submit a counterexample.
