Probability Distribution

2010-11-04 6:19 am
X and Y are 2 independent random variables as follows:
x P(X = x) y P(Y = y)
1 1/6 1 a
2 1/6 2 (3/5) - a
3 1/6 3 1/10
4 1/6 4 1/10
5 1/6 5 1/5
6 1/6
(i) Let E be the event { X - Y ≥ 4}, find P(E) in terms of a.
(ii) Let F be the event { X + Y = 6} and E and F are independent, find the value of a.

It is because X and Y are independent...
P(E)=P(X+Y>=4)
X + Y >=4 when X and Y takes on those value
So, P(E) = P(X=6, Y=1)+P(X=6, Y=2)+P(X=5,Y=1)
=P(X=6)P(Y=1)+P(X=6)P(Y=2)+P(X=5)P(Y=1)

P(X=6 and Y=1) = P(X=6)P(Y=1) (as X,Y are independent)
the others are the same reason.
