Step 1

To check if X and Y are independent, we need to see if the joint PMF can be factored into the product of the marginal PMFs. First, we need to find the marginal PMFs. The marginal PMF of X, denoted as $P_X(x)$, can be found by summing the joint PMF over all values Show more…

Let X and Y be discrete random variables with given joint PMF. Are X and Y independent? Find the conditional PMF by using proper notation. Sketch this conditional PMF. Consider the new random variable Z = |Y - X|. Find the pZ(z) using proper notation. Sketch the pZ(z). Find and sketch the CDF of random variable Z.
