For the given joint probability mass function fx y x y36 o

For the given joint probability mass function f(x, y) = (x + y)/36 over the nine points with x = 1,2,3 and y = 1,2,3. Determine E(X) , E(Y) , V(X) , and V(Y).

Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

Solution

Prepare joint distribution table as follows:

E(x) = 17/12

Var(x) = 16/3-(17/12)^2 = 10/3 = 3.333

Var(y) = 10/3 = 3.333
