  1. What is this called?
    Image Upload 2
    • Random vector
    • (there are three random variables in this random vector)
  2. Image Upload 4
    Image Upload 6
  3. Given the joint distribution, you can find any marginal information that you want
    T/F
    True
  4. Given marginal information, you cannot calculate the joint unless...?
    They are independent
  5. What are the two most commonly used measures of association between random variables?
    • Covariance
    • Correlation
  6. What is the covariance computing formula?
    Image Upload 7
  7. Image Upload 8
    • Image Upload 9
    • Image Upload 10
  8. Why is covariance difficult to interpret compared to correlation?
    • Covariance has units, so interpretation is difficult
    • Correlation is unitless

  10. What is indicated when Image Upload 13 ?
    then X and Y are uncorrelated (Not Independent!!!)
  11. What is the value of ρ when X and Y are independent?
    Image Upload 14

    (Alternately, If given rho=0, it translates to X and Y being uncorrelated, not independent!)
  12. What is the range of correlation?
    Image Upload 15
  13. Image Upload 16
    What does this indicate?
    an exact linear relationship
  14. When it reasonable to use a binomial distribution when a hyper-geometric distribution would normally otherwise be considered?
    When sample size is small relative to our population size
  15. point mass
    A probability distribution with unity probability mass at one specific outcome, and zero probability mass everywhere else
  16. How is 'e' defined?
    Image Upload 18
  17. A binomial distribution can be represented by a ___?____ when n is large
    Poisson
