(a) The marginal distribution of <em>X</em> is

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) = ∑ Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>)

… = 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625

… = 0.25

That is, the first equality follows from the law of total probability, with the sum taken over <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15}. Each probability Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) is given in the table to be 0.0625.

Similarly, the marginal distribution of <em>Y</em> is

Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25

(b) Yes, they're independent because

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.0625,

and

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25 • 0.25 = 0.0625.

(c) The mean of <em>X</em> is

E[<em>X</em>] = ∑ <em>x</em> Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)

… = 0.25 ∑ <em>x</em>

<em>… </em>= 0.25 (0 + 5 + 10 + 15)

… = 7.5

and you would find the same mean for <em>Y</em>,

E[<em>Y</em>] = 7.5

The variance of <em>X</em> is

V[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em>^2] - E[<em>X</em>]^2

… = (∑ <em>x</em>^2 Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)) - 7.5^2

… = 0.25 (∑ <em>x</em>^2) - 56.25

… = 0.25 (0^2 + 5^2 + 10^2 + 15^2) - 56.25

… = 31.25

and similarly,

V[<em>Y</em>] = 31.25

(each sum is taken with <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15})

Liz is hiking a trail that is 0.8 miles long. Liz hikes the first 2 tenths of the distance by herself. She hikes the of the way
antoniya [11.8K]
0.6 miles.

Since there is 0.8 miles to hike in total, she hiked 0.2 miles.

To solve, we just easily subtract the amount that Liz hiked from the amount that needs to be hiked.

She hiked 0.2 miles, which means we need to subtract 0.2 from 0.8.

8 - 2 = 6

The answer is 0.6 miles.
