There is an exam which contains 4 questions as follow:
I) 3 questions have four multiple choices a, b, c and d
II) only one question is true and false
Let XX denotes the number of correct answers for part (I) and YY denotes the number of correct answers in true/false part. Find the joint probability distribution function fX,Y(x,y
There is a test which contains
4 questions as follows:
I) 3 questions having four multiple choices a,b,c,d.
II) 1 true/false question.
X denotes the number of correct answers for part I and Y denotes the number of correct answers for part II.
X can take values 0,1,2, 3.
Now, the chance of getting an MCQ right is 1/4, and getting it wrong is 3/4.
So,
Now, the chance of getting a true/false question right, is 1/2.
So, Y can take values 0 and 1.
So,
Now, the MCQs and true/false questions each are independent of each other.
So, the joint probability mass function of X and Y is
