Question

A random variable X~Binomial (2, 1/3) is chosen, but the result is badly recorded; the record Y has an equal chance of being X, X+1, or X+2.

a) Find the joint PMF of X and Y.

  Y=0 Y=1 Y=2 Y=3 Y=4
X=0          
X=1          
X=2          

b) Find the conditional PMF of X given Y.

  Y=0 Y=1 Y=2 Y=3 Y=4
X=0          
X=1          
X=2          

c) The Y=2 column of your second table should match the marginal distribution of X. What does this say about how useful a record of "Y=2" in telling you the actual value of X?
