Question
The joint probability mass function for two discrete random variables X and
Y are given as follows:
-1
1
y
1/6
1
1/6
1/6
1/6
2
1/6
1/6
(a) Show that X and Y are not independent.
(b) Compute E(XY),EX, and EY, and check that E(XY) = (EX)·(EY).
Remark: This example shows that satisfying E(XY)= (EX)· (EY) does not imply
that X and Y are independent.
