Otherwise y X y X C y X F C (B) Find

The document contains practice problems on two-dimensional discrete and continuous random variables. Problem 1 asks to find the value of c for a given joint probability function and to calculate P(X ≥ 1, Y ≤ 2). Problem 2 gives a joint probability table and asks to calculate marginal distributions, conditional distributions, and P(X ≤ 2, Y = 3). Problem 3 asks if two random variables with a given joint probability mass function are independent. Problems 4 asks similar questions for continuous random variables, such as finding the constant k in a given joint density function and marginal densities.
