Answer the following questions and provide a brief explanation:
1. 2^n values it take... That is for joint distribution f(x,y) 4 boolean variables it requires 2^4 = 16 values.
Because, 1 variable should be compared to all other variables so that 4 to 4 so it will be 16 values... Example in the image below :
2. The variables whose joint Cumulative Distribution Function is equal to product of marginal Cumulative Distribution Function are taken as independent variables.
Because, Jointly-distributed random variables X and Y are
independent if their joint Cumulative Distribution
Function is the product of the marginal Cumulative
Distribution Function :
F(X, Y ) = FX(x)FY (y).
3. x, y are independent if theirs Cumulative Distribution Function = product of marginal Cumulative Distribution Function..
And
There are 16 values required for 4 boolean variables.
