Question

The random variables X and Y have a joint probability function given by f(x,y) = { c(x^2y + x) , x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2; y = 1, 2, 3 0 , otherwise Determine the following: 1. E(X|Y = 1) 2. Conditional Cdf of X given Y = 1 3. Pdf of Z = X + Y 4. Var(Z) and show that Var(Z) = Var(X) + Var(Y) + 2Cov(X,Y)

Step 1

First, we need to find the conditional probability mass function (PMF) of X given Y = 1. This is given by: $$ f_{X|Y}(x|1) = \frac{f_{X,Y}(x,1)}{f_Y(1)} $$ Show more…
