Answer #1

(a.i.) frequency distribution of X and Y

X frequency
1 4
2 3
2 5
Y frequency
1 6
2 6

(a.ii.) joint probability distribution of X and Y

X
1 2 3 total
Y 1 0.1667 0.0833 0.2500 0.5000
2 0.1667 0.1667 0.1667 0.5000
total 0.3333 0.2500 0.4167 1.0000

(b) P(X=2|Y=1)=P(X=2 and Y=1)/P(Y=1)=0.0833/0.5=0.1667 and P(X=2)=0.25

here P(X=2) is greater than P(X=2|Y=1)

(c)Yes, number of pages are related to language used in the book

E(X)=sum(x*P(x))=1*0.3333+2*0.2500+3*0.4167=2.0834

E(Y)=sum(y*P(y))=1*0.5+2*0.5=1.5

E(XY)=sum(x*y*P(xy))=1*1*0.1667+1*2*0.0833+1*3*0.25+2*1*0.1667+2*2*0.1667+2*3*0.1667=3.0837

E(X)*E(Y)=2.0834*1.5=3.1251 which is not equal to E(XY)=3.0837, so X and Y are not independent and conclude that number of pages are related to language used in the book

following information has been generated when x is in ascending order for answering the above question
