The joint probability distribution p(x,y) for two discrete random variables, x and y, is given in the accompanying table. Verify that the properties of a joint probability distribution hold. Find the marginal probability distribution pX(x) for x. Find the conditional probability distribution pX|Y(x|y) for each Y. [Hint: p(x,y)/pX(x)]

The random variable X has a range of {0, 1, 2, 3} and the random variable Y has a range of {-2, -1, 1, 2}. The joint distribution of X and Y is given by the following table: y x | -2 | -1 | 1 | 2 0 | 0.1 | 0.0 | 0.05 | 0.05 1 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.1 2 | 0.07 | 0.02 | 0.04 | 0.07 3 | 0.1 | 0.05 | 0.03 | 0.02 - Find the tables associated with the marginal distributions of X and of Y, i.e. give the values of P(X = x) for all x, and of P(Y = y) for all y. - Write down a table for the conditional distribution of X given that Y = 2, i.e. give the values of P(X = x | Y = 2) for all x. - Compute E(X) and E(Y). - Compute E(XY).
