Expert Solution

Answer:-

Given that:-

X and Y are discete random variables with joint distribution

Y=-1 Y=0 Y=1 Total
X=1 0 1/4 0 1/4
X=0 1/4 1/4 1/4 3/4
Total 1/4 2/4 1/4 1

a) Determine condition Expectation E(y/x=1)

E(y/x=1)=

Condition probability distribution of y given x=1

Condition probability distribution of y/x=1

y -1 0 1
p(y/x=1) 0 1 0 1

b)Detremine the condition expectation E(x/y=y) for each value or y

E(x/y=-1), E(x/y=0), E(x/y=1)

Y=-1 Y=0 Y=1 Total
X=1 0 1/4 0 1/4
X=0 1/4 1/4 1/4 3/4
Total 1/4 2/4 1/4

To find E(x/y=-1)

Condition prob.distribution of x/y=-1

Condition prob distribution of x/y=-1

x 1 0
p(x/y=-1) 0 1 1

E(x/y=-1)=

E(x/y=-1)=0

To find E(x/y=0)

condition probability of x/y=0

condition prob distribution of x/y=0

x 1 0
p(x/y=0) 1/2 1/2 1

E(x/y=0)=

To find E(x/y=1)

Condition probability of x/y=1

condition prob distribution or x/y=1

x 1 0
p(x/y=1) 0 1 1

E(x/y=1)=

c)We know that from low of it created

expectation

E[E(x/y)]=E(x)

g(y)=E(x/y=y)

E[E(x/y)]=E(g(y))

=

  

E[E(x/y=y)]=E(x/y=-1).p(y=-1)+E(x/y=0)(y=0)+E(x/y=1).p(y=1)

E[E(x/y)]=

Therefore E(x)=

Therefore, Expected value of x using condition expectation from b]

d)To obtain marginal distribution of x.

Y=-1 Y=0 Y=1 Total
X=1 0 1/4 0 1/4
X=0 1/4 1/4 1/4 3/4
Total 1/4 2/4 1/4 1

Marginal distribution of x

x 1 0
p(x) 1/4 3/4 1

E(x)=

Now from (c) and (d) we verify that
