A researcher suspected that the number of between meal snacks eaten by students in a day during final examinations might depend on the number of tests a student had to take on that day. The accompanying table shows joint probabilities, estimated from a survey.
a. Find the probability distribution of X and compute the mean number of tests taken by students on that day.
b. Find the probability distribution of Y and, hence, the mean number of snacks eaten by students on that day.
c. Find and interpret the conditional probability distribution of Y, given that X = 3.
d. Find the covariance between X and Y.
e. Are number of snacks and number of tests independent of each other? |
