Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}\) have the joint pdf \(f\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right)=1 / \pi,
0
Let \(X\) and \(Y\) have the joint pdf \(f(x, y)=3 x, 0
Let \(A_{1}=\\{(x, y): x \leq 2, y \leq 4\\}, A_{2}=\\{(x, y): x \leq 2, y \leq
1\\}, A_{3}=\)
\(\\{(x, y): x \leq 0, y \leq 4\\}\), and \(A_{4}=\\{(x, y): x \leq 0 y \leq
1\\}\) be subsets of the
space \(\mathcal{A}\) of two random variables \(X\) and \(Y\), which is the entire
two-dimensional plane. If \(P\left(A_{1}\right)=\frac{7}{8},
P\left(A_{2}\right)=\frac{4}{8}, P\left(A_{3}\right)=\frac{3}{8}\), and
\(P\left(A_{4}\right)=\frac{2}{8}\), find \(P\left(A_{5}\right)\), where
\(A_{5}=\\{(x, y): 0
Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be random variables with the space consisting of the four points \((0,0),(1,1),(1,0),(1,-1)\). Assign positive probabilities to these four points so that the correlation coefficient is equal to zero. Are \(X\) and \(Y\) independent?
If the correlation coefficient \(\rho\) of \(X\) and \(Y\) exists, show that \(-1 \leq \rho \leq 1\). Hint: Consider the discriminant of the nonnegative quadratic function $$ h(v)=E\left\\{\left[\left(X-\mu_{1}\right)+v\left(Y-\mu_{2}\right)\right]^{2}\right\\} $$ where \(v\) is real and is not a function of \(X\) nor of \(Y\).
