(1+ y )2

when y>=0 otherwise it is 0

is clearly not equal to the product of the marginal pdfs of X

and Y
Therefore, X and Y are not independent.

c) A = { (x1 >= 2 + x2) && (x2 >=2 + x1) }
P(A) = P(2,0) + P(3,0) + P(4,0) + P(3,1) + P(4,1) + P(4,2) + P(0,2) + P(0,3) +

d) P(exactly 4) = P(1,3) + P(2,2) + P(3,1) + P(4,0) = 0.04+0.10+0.03+0 = 0.17

6.) y- axis = observations

x-axis= z percentile

It is nearly straight , therefore we can assume the data from the plot.

ii) This asks for the probability a rain event has length <, that is <0. It cannot
happen
Therefore, the required probability = 0

If X is the reading, we want that X - < 0.7
And for a 95% interval, the Z-value = 1.96
(X - ) / = 1.96
(X - ) = 1.96
1.96 < 0.7
Therefore, = (0.1/1.96) = 0.051020
