Explain conditional probability distribution.


Explain conditional probability distribution.

Presume that during a basketball practice. Joe tries three shots from the free throw line, presume further that he has a probability equal to 0.6 of making each shot as well as that the attempts are independent. Let X be the number of baskets he makes in the first two shots also let Y be the number of baskets he makes in the last two shots. The marginal density for X as well as Y are each binomial with n = 2 and p = 0.6. The subsequent table shows the assignment of the probabilities.

Please note that the probability values for the events {2. 0} and {0. 2} aren't defined and hence each is assigned to be equal to zero for this problem.

1) Complete the table showing the joint distribution function for X as well as Y for this problem using information shown in the table above

2) Define the marginal densities of X and Y

3) Define the conditional probability f (X | Y= l) and hence compute P(X = 0 | Y = l)

4) Define the conditional probability f (X = 2 | Y) and hence compute P(X = 21 Y = 0)
