Exercise 6
Consider three random variables X, Y, and Z. Suppose that Y takes on k values Y 1 ,…, y k that X takes on l values x 1;..., x l , and that Z takes on m values Z 1 ,...,z m. The joint probability distribution of X, Y , Z is Pr( X = x , Y = y, Z = z ), and the conditional probability distribution of Y given X and Z is
Consider three random variables X, Y, and Z. Suppose that Y takes on k values Y 1 ,…, y k that X takes on l values x 1;..., x l , and that Z takes on m values Z 1 ,...,z m. The joint probability distribution of X, Y , Z is Pr( X = x , Y = y, Z = z ), and the conditional probability distribution of Y given X and Z is      a. Explain how the marginal probability that Y = y can be calculated from the joint probability distribution. b. Show that E ( Y ) = E [ E ( Y | X, Z)].
