The joint probability distribution of precipitation X (inches) and runoff Y(cfs) (discretized here for simplicity) due to storms in the Lower Kaskaskia Valley is as follows:
(a) What is the probability that the next storm will bring a precipitation of 2 or more inches and a runoff of more than 20 cfs?
(b) After a storm, a precipitation of 2 inches is measured. What is the probability that the runoff in this storm is 20 cfs or more?
(c) Are X and Y statistically dependent? Substantiate your answer.
(d) Determine and plot the marginal PMF of runoff.
(e) Determine the correlation coefficient between X and Y.
