ECON2280 Introductory Econometrics Tutorial 1 Tutorial 1 Problem set Question 1 (Review of Statistics) Here is the table describing the joint distribution of the random variable X and Y. Pr ( X = x; Y = y ) Y = 4 Y = 9 X = 1 0.24 0.16 X = 2 0.12 0.08 X = 4 0.24 0.16 1. Calculate the marginal probability of X and the marginal probability of Y. 2. Find E ( X ) and E ( Y ) : 3. Find V ar ( X ) and V ar ( Y ) : 4. De°ne a new random variable Z = XY: Find out the distribution of Z . 5. Find E ( Z ) and V ar ( Z ) : 6. Based on the joint probabilities and the marginal probabilities, are X and Y independent of each other? 7. Find Cov ( X; Y ) using (a) the formula Cov ( X; Y ) = E [( X ° E ( X )) ( Y ° E ( Y ))] : 1 1. P(X=1) = 0.24+0.16 = 0.4 P(X=2) = 0.12+0.08 = 0.2 P(X=4) = 0.24+0.16 = 0.4 P(Y=4) = 0.24+0.12+0.24=0.6 P(Y=9) = 0.16+0.08+0.16=0.4 2. E(X)= 1x0.4 +2x0.2 +4x0.4 =2.4 E(Y)= 4x0.6 + 9x0.4= 6 3.

### What students are saying

• As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

• I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

• The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
