Suppose the random variables X, Y, and z have joint distribution as follows: f(x, y, z) = xy^2 z/180, x = 1, 2, 3; y = 1, 2; z = 1, 2, 3 Find the two-dimensional marginal distributions f_1, 2(x, y), f_1, 3(x, z) and f_2, 3(y, z). Find the marginal distributions f_1(x), f_2(y), and f_3(z). Find P(Y = 2|X = 1, Z = 3). Find P(X greaterthanorequalto 2, Y = 2|Z = 2). Are X, Y, and Z independent?



Answer :

Part a:  f(x, y) = xy^2/30;   f(x, z) =  xz/36;  f(y, z) = zy^2/30.

Part b: marginal distributions: f(x) = x/6; f(y) = y^2/5; f(z) =z/6.

Part c: P(Y = 2|X = 1, Z = 3) = 0.8.

Part d:  P(X ≥ 2, Y = 2|Z = 2) = 0.667.

Part e: In this case, X, Y, and Z all independent variables

Explain the term Joint distribution?

  • Multiple discrete random variables make up the joint distribution function.
  • A joint probability of a given random variables is computed using it.
  • The joint function can be used to get the marginal function of a random variables.

Part a:  f(x, y, z) = xy^2 z/180, x = 1, 2, 3; y = 1, 2; z = 1, 2, 3 .

f(x, y) = ∑(z = 1 →3)  f(x, y, z)

          = ∑(z = 1 →3) xy^2 z/180

          = xy^2 /180 ( 1 + 2 + 3)

          = xy^2/30

f(x, z) = ∑(y = 1 →2)  f(x, y, z)

          = ∑(y = 1 →2) xy^2 z/180

          = xz /180 ( 1² + 2²)

          = xz/36

f(y, z) = ∑(x = 1 →3)  f(x, y, z)

          = ∑(x = 1 →3) xy^2 z/180

          = zy^2/180 (1 + 2 + 3)

          = zy^2/30

Part b:  marginal distributions f_1(x), f_2(y), and f_3(z).

f(x) = ∑(y = 1 →2)  f(x, y)

      = ∑(y = 1 →2) xy^2/30

      = x/6

f(y) = ∑(x = 1 →3)  f(x, y)

      = ∑(x = 1 →3) xy^2/30

      = y^2/5

f(z) = ∑(x = 1 →3)  f(x, z)

      = ∑(x = 1 →3) xz/36

      = z/6

Part c: P(Y = 2|X = 1, Z = 3)

P(Y = 2|X = 1, Z = 3) = (1 x 2 x 3)/180 / (1 x 3)/36

P(Y = 2|X = 1, Z = 3) = 0.8

Part d:  P(X ≥ 2, Y = 2|Z = 2)

P(X ≥ 2, Y = 2|Z = 2) = P(2, 2, 2)+P(3,2,2)/P(Z = 2)

P(X ≥ 2, Y = 2|Z = 2) = [(2 x 2² x 2)/180 + (3 x 2² x 2)/180] / (2/6)

P(X ≥ 2, Y = 2|Z = 2) = 0.667

Part e: In this case, X, Y, and Z all independent variables since their joint function equals the sum of their marginal functions.

f(x, y, z) = f(x) x f(y) x f(z)
