Jane chooses a number X at random from the set of numbers
{1, 2, 3, 4}, so that
P(X = k) =
1
4
for k = 1, 2, 3, 4.
She then chooses a number Y at random from the subset of
numbers {X, ...,
4
}; for example, if
X = 3, then Y is chosen at
random from {
3,
4}
.
(i) Find the joint probability distribution of X and Y and display
it in the form of a two-way table.
[5 marks]
(ii) Find the marginal probability distribution of Y , and hence
find E(Y ) and V ar(Y ).
[4 marks]
(iii) Show that Cov(X, Y ) = 5/8.

(iv) Find the probability distribution of U = X + Y . [7

Consider a sample with data values of 10, 20, 12, 17 and 16. Compute the z-score for the first three observations

The probability of an event to happen in the next week is p and It is constant throughout the week What is the probability of this event to happen in the next 2 days?

When you have an equation that deals with random variables, always start with an explanation related to some random variable examples. It is what the majority of skilled engineers do because it is the only way how one can avoid mistakes when working with statistical data. Even though this part of statistics and probability may seem overly complex, approach every random variable equation through the lens of probability as you seek answers to your questions. Compare provided solutions, see similarities, and you will achieve the most efficient solutions.
